Sexual Violence Prevention and Education

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Team is excited to announce an upcoming professional development (PD) opportunity available to all staff and faculty. Every staff member plays a vital role in creating a safe and supportive campus environment. This session will equip you with the knowledge of how to respond effectively when a student discloses an experience of sexual violence.

Join us for a day of inspiration and empowerment where education and advocacy intersect for meaningful community change. This gathering will focus on critical themes of decolonization, women's rights, and community support, featuring two prominent speakers, Charmaine Lane and Pamela Cross, who will share their expertise and insights on the pressing issues facing racialized communities and women today. Engage in resource sharing and meaningful discussions as we work together for justice.

This interactive workshop offers participants practical training on how to effectively respond to disclosures of sexual violence. Participants will explore the connection between systemic oppression and sexual violence, which often creates barriers for survivors. The session focuses on building supportive language, intervention techniques, and knowledge of available resources for acting as a prosocial bystander or when receiving a disclosure.

Are you passionate about addressing gender-based violence in our community? Do you want to learn about restorative justice practices? Join us in these meaningful conversations aimed at building relationships, raising awareness, and fostering a safer campus environment.

The Masculinity Mini-Series explores the evolving concept of masculinity, addressing the challenges, stereotypes, and opportunities for growth that men face today. This series welcomes all students (regardless of gender) to engage in valuable discussions to foster healthier relationships, emotional well-being, and inclusive communities.
