Your access to services matters. You have legal recourse if your schools fail to fulfill their obligations, however, many survivors don’t know their rights and lack resources to navigate a drawn-out and expensive legal process. 

Under Title IX, all students have a right to a learning environment that is free from sexual harassment, discrimination, and violence. Unfortunately, many survivors face a host of institutional barriers to pursuing the remedies meant to keep campuses safe.  LOTUS Legal Clinic is proud to partner with DaneMAC via Hazel to strengthen the support system that is available to survivors, reduce barriers to justice, and ensure survivors have equitable access to the resources they need to move beyond their encounter.

LOTUS is Wisconsin’s first and only law firm dedicated to providing legal services and therapeutic arts programming specifically to survivors of sexual violence and human trafficking. LOTUS’ services and programming are completely free of cost, judgment, and contingency. Our attorneys can explain what your legal options are and will stand with you as you seek justice on your own terms, ensuring that your privacy is protected, your rights are upheld, and your voice is heard.
