Florence Zhu, a sophomore at UC Berkeley, founded Secure Steps, a nonprofit aimed at addressing the alarming rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among college students. Motivated by troubling stories shared by peers, her organization seeks to educate students about IPV and provide resources to support survivors. Zhu highlights that many individuals remain unaware of IPV's signs, leaving them vulnerable. Secure Steps implements national initiatives to enhance public knowledge and assist survivors in navigating legal challenges, emphasizing education as a key to fostering change on college campuses.
"The mission of Secure Steps is, broadly, to support survivors and also broaden the knowledge of what intimate partner violence is in college campuses."
