Callisto - Anonymous Sexual Assault Documentation, Matching, and Resources for Survivors(opens in new window)

A tool that was built based on public health evidence related to sexual assault demonstrating that 90% of campus sexual assaults are perpetrated by repeat offenders. Sexual violence perpetrators on campuses have been found to perpetrate sexual violence an average of 6 times while in college. 

Project Callisto (www.projectcallisto.org(opens in new window)) is a third-party organization (not affiliated with the university) that provides a number of resources for anyone with a current Chico State email as of March 1, 2023. We have been working with Project Callisto so that all students, faculty, and staff can use this as a resource. This is an evidence-based and survivor-centered system with multiple resources. Project Callisto currently work with several universities across the country, and they are expanding to offer to all universities in the United States within the next year.     

  • The first resource is a Matching System. Anyone with a Chico State email address who has an experience with sexual assault can enter the perpetrator’s social media handles, phone number, and email address into the system. If another person also enters that same perpetrator’s information (it must be the same social media handle, phone number, or email), then there is a “match.” When a match occurs, a lawyer who specialized in sexual assault cases contacts both survivors and provides up to 10 hours of free law consultation for each survivor. The survivors will be given the option of combining (and strengthening) cases and all legal and non-legal options will be explained by the lawyer in a survivor-centered way. 
  • The second survivor-centered resource is the encrypted record form that offers survivors a place in which they can record what they remember about the event. This is an encrypted form- so only the survivor has access to it. The form includes questions that are legally informed to help the person remember and record specific details, but the survivor can choose to skip any questions they wish to skip. They can also come back to the form and add additional details that they may not have remembered initially. This resource can be used in legal cases to document the date they first completed the report and can be downloaded for reporting purposes by the survivor if they would like to use it in reporting. Otherwise, the report is encrypted and stays in the system. The survivor can also choose to delete the form at any time.
