May 2025: Sexual Violence Prevention Month

Throughout the month of May, help us prevent sexual violence on our campus. Whether you’re a student, a professor or a support staff member, everything you do counts. 

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Attend the “Support, Prevent and Take Action: Sexual Violence on Our Campus” workshop. Held virtually by the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Team, this workshop will help you better understand the reality of sexual violence at 91��Ʒ���ϳԹ� and learn how everyone in our community can do their part to prevent incidents and support survivors.

   — May 13, noon to 1 p.m.
   — May 14, noon to 1 p.m.

• Review Policy 67b — Prevention of Sexual Violence to learn your rights, your responsibilities and our services and processes.

  Read Policy 67b

• Take the mandatory online training on sexual violence prevention for professors and support staff, if you haven’t already.

• Discover our brand-new online training, “Together, let’s build a culture of consent on campus,” designed for 91��Ʒ���ϳԹ� students.

  To take the training, go to the Discover section in Brightspace.

• Follow the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Team on !
   
• Start the conversation with those around you: come together and learn about your rights, your responsibilities, ways bystanders can intervene and available resources. Having the proper tools and preparation can make all the difference if you witness an incident or if someone discloses an incident to you.
   
• Request training for your team by reaching out to the Human Rights Office. The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Team is available to deliver training that’s customized to your needs.
   
• Attend an activity or training run by one of our community partners:
  • (In French only, offered by CALACS francophone d'Ottawa)
  • (In honor of National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls)

This May, let’s take the time to get informed, think deeper and take action. Together, we can make a difference!
