San Francisco’s downtown nightlife businesses, law enforcement, address sexual assault at safety summit

Prevention of sexual assault and date rape in San Francisco’s downtown nightlife scene was the topic of a second Nightlife Safety summit held earlier this month by the District Attorney’s Office, community advocates, ride-share companies and members of the nightlife industry, the DA’s office announced.

The group gathered at the 111 Minna Gallery in the Yerba Buena neighborhood to raise awareness about the risks of sexual assault when people are out on the town and to share prevention efforts, such as training bar staff to respond when someone has overindulged or has possibly been drugged.
