Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Support and Education

If you experience sexual & gender-based violence, we are here to support you

You are not alone. We believe you. Any student, staff or faculty member who has experienced something that felt wrong, unsafe or harmful can receive confidential support from the Sexual & Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) Centre. Supports are available, and your options and resources will be discussed with you. Survivors are not required to make a report in order to access support.
