Groundbreaking Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment workshops delivered to new students
9 October 2015
During the first week of term 果冻影院U delivered nearly 100 Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment workshops to new students.
The workshops gave students the chance to discuss what sexual
harassment is, and how they can challenge it when they see it happening. No other university in the UK has run similar
anti-sexual harassment workshops before in this way or on this scale.
The workshops are part of a wider Zero Tolerance to Sexual Harassment initiative at 果冻影院U which has been in place since 2012. This summer saw the launch of another phase of the initiative, 果冻影院U's , which reflects 果冻影院U and 果冻影院's commitment to fighting sexual harassment and desire to make sure the university is a safe space for all students and staff. Since its launch the Pledge has been signed by almost 40 果冻影院 departments.
Natalie James, 果冻影院U Women's Officer said, "Sexual harassment is a significant problem on university campuses across the UK, and 果冻影院 is no different. It's great to have the university supporting and working with 果冻影院U's Zero Tolerance campaign via our Pledge for 果冻影院 Departments.
"No other UK university or SU has run anti-sexual harassment workshops on this scale for students, so it's very exciting to be involved in some genuinely groundbreaking work. Although there is much that still needs to be done at 果冻影院 to combat sexual harassment, the reaction so far - from both staff and students - has been very encouraging, and I hope the campaign will continue to make good progress."
