When asked the question: “Recently, Time magazine revealed that 19% of U.S. undergraduate women are victims of sexual assault in college. Why has such a horrific epidemic been swept under the rug so long, and what can colleges do to combat this?”
Sanchez replied: “I believe that some colleges may potentially be afraid of having a bad reputation and that would be a reason it’s swept under the rug, because they don’t want it to come out in public. But I think more awareness is very important so women can learn how to protect themselves. Myself, as a fourth degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself. And I think that’s something we need to implement for a lot of women.”
She also volunteers at women's shelters, teaching residents how to defend themselves and teaching kids about "stranger danger."
