How will you show up against sexual violence?

Posted 8 months ago

Sexual violence is more than sexual assault

The ways we think, talk, and act matter

While sexual violence is a societal issue, it’s also an important topic for our student community here at Leeds. Preventing sexual violence won’t happen overnight, but each one of us can help make Leeds a place we’re proud to be. And it starts with showing up for yourself and for each other. 

Visit the new sexual violence web pages to:  

  • learn more about sexual violence so you can recognise it when it happens, 
  • discover upcoming events and activities on campus to get involved in, 
  • sign the student pledge to show up against sexual violence, 
  • know how to give and get consent, and 
  • find practical ways you can help make Leeds a safer place for everyone.
