Sessions to offer advice on ending sexual violence

A series of workshops will offer UWindsor students practical strategies to stop a sexual assault β€” before it starts.

Bystander Initiative workshops are open to all gender identities and led by student peer facilitators. The program is aiming at conducting 70 workshops this fall to reach 500 to 800 participants, who will learn:

  • Why it’s important to speak out against social norms that support sexual violence;
  • Skills needed to identify and safely intervene in situations that could lead to sexual violence; and
  • How to support survivors of sexual violence.

Each session runs 2.5 hours. Find the current schedule and register at success.uwindsor.ca/bystanderevents.
