Women's Safety Initiative
Move the Women’s Department from primarily reactive support toward prevention, preparedness and institutional advocacy.
Together will: -Develop a clearly accessible Women’s Safety Guide covering what to do after harassment, stalking, sexual violence, drink spiking or other threatening behaviour, alongside reporting and support pathways. -Run practical education on coercive control, stalking behaviours, digital safety, consent, bystander intervention and recognising escalating behaviour. -Conduct regular campus safety walks/audits with students, particularly around evening transport routes, lighting and isolated areas, and publicly advocate to the University on identified problems. Continue optional self-defence programs, but make them one part of a much broader safety strategy.
Why this matters
Women deserve to feel safe on campus, at home, and elsewhere. We need active, preventative measures to ensure that women are safe, and that they know what to do if they are not.
How we implement it
Together will establish and fund the Women's safety initative on an ongoing basis, and work with the University to implement preventative measures.
