What are the key takeaways for you after watching this video?
I appreciated the support that Ema received while peacefully rallying and carrying her mattress around campus. I noticed both male and females were supportive. One thing Ema mentioned that was very important in which it was mentioned in the "I still feel like I am not normal" article is that she felt ashame when the rape happened which caused her to not disclose this information. In my opinion, I assume the male was a academically achieved and he built relationships with deans, professors and other staff members. This may have been the reason why everyone felt as if he was not guilty and Ema's statements were not credible.
Keeping the central developmental milestones for college aged individuals (late adolescence) in mind, what do you think the impact of sexual violence is on development? How is this reflected in Emma Sulkowicz’s response to her assault?
I think the impact on sexual violence can hinder ones self esteem and can develop PSTD. When being interviewed Ema seemed to be nervous, she kept looking down as she was ashame, and she showed disbelief in Columbia for the way they handled her case. Ema did not want to disclose what happened to her because of possible negative social reactions upon disclosure as well.

I admire Emma's courage and resilience in coming forward to denounce such a crime. Most victims of sexual assault do not make a report, and there are many reasons why they do not come forward: Self-blame, victims feel is their fault (Feiring, Taska, & Lewis, 1996). Shame, victims feel unworthy (Bonanno, 2002; Negrao, Bonanno, Noll, Putnam, & Trickett, 2005). Gibson & Leitenberg (2001) noted that internalized Stigma, includes self-blame, shame and anticipatory stigma. According to Goffman (1963), Overstreet & Quinn (2013), anticipatory stigma is the notion by the survivor that by disclosing the sexual assault that she (in this case) will be blame for it. We must also keep in mind that a sexual assault will impact individuals differently depending on their culture; education, religion and social class.
In this case, Emma was a student from Columbia University and from some inner place she found self-determination to come forward. I do not know her biological age, but pursuing an education makes me think that her social age might be between 18 to early 20s, which means that she is at the age to make thoughtful and serious decisions. Also, to deal with the consequences and in this case the stigmatization that survivors face after revealing the abuse.
She carried her blue mattress around to bring awareness of the violation that happen to her, by doing it in such a way she was saying "this is where this horrible act took place" and as she mentioned the bed is a secure intimidate place where one rests. We need to take into account that the mattress was a constant reminder of her assault and sometimes victims do not want to be remind it as it might triggers feelings.
As it was seen in the video the school failed her and it is almost like sexual assault victims are marginalized by coming forward. Victims already deal with the emotional aftermath of sexual assaults and to deal with negative reactions of others is very traumatic and painful.
