Human Rights & Equity OfficeThe Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Service (SVPRS) provides confidential, trauma informed and non-judgmental support for any student who has experienced sexual violence or intimate partner violence (IPV) at any time in their life.
Sexual Violence means any sexual act or act targeting a person’s sexuality, gender identity or gender expression, whether the act is physical or psychological in nature, that is committed, threatened or attempted against a person without the person’s consent, and includes sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, indecent exposure, voyeurism, and sexual exploitation.
Students do not need to file a complaint with either the University or with the police in order to access services.
