Sexualized Violence Prevention & Response

Are you a student with a disability?

Through a civil forfeiture grant, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Center (KSACC) has received funding to continue an educational project in partnership with TRU. Building on project work completed in 2016/2017, this year’s initiative will engage with students who identify as having a disability, as well as TRU staff and faculty to develop sustainable practices around sexualized violence prevention and to provide education tools unique to each community’s needs and experiences. These efforts support TRU's ongoing commitment to raise awareness and educate the campus community about sexualized violence (Sexual Violence Policy BRD 25-0). Amber Huva, Sexualized Violence Prevention and Response Manager and KSACC’s Stopping the Violence Counsellor Kate Cairnie are excited to facilitate this collaboration, which will run until May 2020. If you are a student who identifies as having a disability, we invite you to consider filling out this short survey. Participants will receive a $10 gift card for Tim Hortons.

You are not alone

If you have been sexually assaulted it is important to know and understand that you are not alone and that it is not your fault. There is no behavior, manner of dress, or situation that justifies sexualized violence. If you are a victim/survivor of sexualized violence, you have done nothing wrong and you are not to blame.
