About Respect at Uni Week 2025
Respect at Uni Week runs from 24 to 28 March and aims to raise awareness of sexual and gender-based violence.
Respect at Uni Week encourages us all to consider and learn about ways we can work together to prevent violence and harassment in our communities and create safe and respectful spaces wherever we are.
Respect at Uni Week in 2025 also marks the official launch of the Respect Network, a volunteer opportunity open to staff and students who want to contribute to building a safe and respectful environment at UQ by addressing violence, harassment, discrimination and bullying. Addressing violence is only possible if we all come together, learn from eachother and rethink the ways we engage in study, work and relationships.Our 2025 flagship event is the Respect Network Launch and Community Day where you can meet the UQ Respect Team, Workplace Diversity and Inclusion team, Respect Network Ambassadors and our amazing community services and partners! Come down for a day of activities, stalls, food, and powerful conversations!
