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.
As part of Consent Week, this training will provide skills to help people intervene when they see a harmful, or potentially harmful, situation. Bystander intervention can help create a sense of belonging, care, and respect across our campus community.
As part of Consent Week, this workshop will discuss what sexual citizenship is, why it is important at university, and how it goes hand in hand with consent to create a campus that is respectful, considerate, and empowering to students.

In this workshop, we will share data about the unique ways sexual violence exists in the online dating world and examine generally held attitudes and perceptions.
In this interactive workshop we will discuss the ways society views sexual violence and how they are often problematic/based on outdated or incorrect information.
In this workshop we are going to discuss the origins of PRIDE. We will unpack the many layers that led to today's celebrations/honour of PRIDE and talk about the power imbalance leading to having a PRIDE month. We will also attempt to finally put an end to the question, "BUT WHEN IS STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH?"
