SVPRO has partnered with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region (SASC), and with their colleagues at Conestoga College and Wilfrid Laurier University to introduce 2022’s 16 Days Campaign: #ConsentMatters!
Each year, SVPRO and the University of Waterloo joins campus partners, along with Kitchener-Waterloo organizations, as well as with varying levels of government and groups worldwide to participate in 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence to remind us all that we can take action in our everyday lives to stop gender-based violence.
In collaboration with the Gender and Social Justice department, please join us for Translating Policy into Practice: Sexual Violence Policies and the University, a discussion of Canadian campus sexual violence policies, including their embodied and institutional effects, and understanding methodological approaches to evaluating their effectiveness.
During 16 Days wear your tee, post a selfie or group photo, tag #ConsentMatters and #16DaysUW and share your consent messaging with the campus community! Order your t-shirt by October 24th to ensure that you don’t miss out on the opportunity for yourself and your team to show your support. $4 from each t-shirt sale goes directly to SASC.
