We believe you, and we have your back. If you're a student who has experienced sexual assault or sexual harassment, you have rights. ENOUGH is an advice helpline featuring Title IX experts who can tell you about your options to feel safe at school, get academic extensions, and more.

2024 Title IX Changes

On August 1, 2024, a new Rule from the Dept. of Education granted additional protections to students who are LGBTQI+, survivors of sexual harassment or assault, pregnant (including miscarriage and abortion), or parenting.  Learn more.

 

Our Advocates can:

  • Listen to your story
  • Lay out what your options are (which include doing nothing, if that’s what you want)
  • Review and explain your school’s Title IX policies and procedures
  • Help you correspond with your school’s Title IX office
  • Help you throughout your school’s investigation and/or hearing process
  • File a Title IX complaint on your behalf with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights
  • Help you obtain a civil restraining order

What to expect when working with us

Please read before completing the online form

  1. You’ll fill out the online application form. We’ll review the information and if you’re eligible, we’ll invite you to a phone appointment with an ENOUGH Advocate.
  2. A volunteer advocate will talk with you and listen to your story. They’ll ask questions to learn more about what happened to help determine your options.
  3. After your call, your advocate will review the details of your situation and work with Equal Rights Advocates to present some suggested paths forward. Your advocate will then share those options with you.
  4. You decide what to do next, if anything, and if you’d like help through that process. (All services are 100% free.) You may work with the same advocate or a different person, depending on the details of your case.

Equal Rights Advocates is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, so all services are completely free and confidential.

ENOUGH Advocates: Volunteer attorneys who have your back

Our ENOUGH Advocates form a corps of volunteer Title IX experts and attorneys who are waiting to talk to you, hear your story, and help you figure out your options. You are under no obligation to do anything with the information or advice you receive.
