A safe and respectful community
Our aim is to create a safe, respectful and equitable UWA, free from gender-based violence and sexual harm by empowering and equipping our students and staff to drive cultural change.
We provide our community with education and capacity building initiatives to change the story of gender-based violence and promote a UWA community that embraces diversity.
