Preventing Gendered Violence at UNSW
UNSW is known for excellence in education and research, and championing initiatives that have social impact and reflect a commitment to human rights and social justice.
Achieving a safe and respectful campus and workplace for all students and staff requires a UNSW strategy to frame ongoing action to prevent and respond to gendered violence, including sexual misconduct. Our aim is to Stop. Empower. Support. UNSW recognises the problem of gendered violence in universities and is committed to playing a part in changing this and making UNSW a safer place for all. Through our e-learning module UNSW seeks to prevent gendered violence and offer respectful strategies to assist students when an incident does occur.
