About Sexual Violence Awareness Month
Sexual Violence Awareness Month is held in October to raise community awareness about sexual violence, promote the support options available to people affected by sexual violence, and continue to uphold the message that sexual violence will not be tolerated. This year’s theme is inspired by the ‘Start by Believing’ global campaign, transforming the way we respond to people who have experienced sexual violence.
**Trigger warning - Please note that the events on this website cover topics related to sexual misconduct. We appreciate that not everyone will feel comfortable participating in this discussion and encourage students and staff to reflect personally before choosing to attend.
