Ontario Universities Taking Action Against Sexual Violence will take place at Queen’s University on August 10th and 11th, 2016. Queen's University is situated on the traditional territory of Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. This conference will bring together researchers, university administrators, campus service providers, student advocates, community service providers, and policymakers to exchange ideas and generate new knowledge about how best to prevent sexual violence in university contexts, from an anti-oppression framework. All interested individuals are welcome to register and attend.

 

This conference responds to intense public and institutional concern about sexual violence, exemplified in the March 2015 Government of Ontario’s It’s Never Okay: An Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment. This report pinpoints university campuses as sites where intervention and change are greatly needed, and points to the high numbers of campus-based assaults and the pervasiveness of rape culture at post-secondary institutions across the province.

 

We expect over 200 delegates to attend our event, which will comprise of keynote speakers and focused panels that address three central themes:

  1. Effective Institutional Models of Prevention

  2. Effective Prevention Programming

  3. Building Relationships to End Sexual Violence
