Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Awareness Week
Ready to be part of something meaningful? Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Awareness Week is five days of creative exploration, real conversations and community building that will change how you think about relationships, boundaries and respect.
It’s about building the kind of campus culture where everyone feels safe, respected and heard. Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding, connect with university resources or simply engage in meaningful conversations with peers, there's something here for you.
Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Awareness Week is organized by the University of Alberta Sexual Assault Centre in collaboration with the University of Alberta Students' Union.
