In a previous post, Zoe from our team reported on her experience of attending the launch of the program<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The campaign is in response to the Australian Human Rights Commission Report on Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment At Australian Universities<\/a> (2017).<\/p>\n The report found that 1 in 5 students were sexually harassed in a university setting and 1.6% of students were sexually assaulted in a university setting.<\/p>\n And, apologies for the swearing, but that is bulls*%t – University should be a place where we can feel safe and respected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not the type of organisation to sit back and do nothing, FUSA<\/a> are going big time on this, creating a range of resources, events and opportunities for all of us in the Flinders University community to own the problem and start making positive changes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know it can be tempting to say to yourself “this issue isn’t really about me” or something similar.<\/p>\n But we all have a role to play, whether it is changing our own behaviour, or being a better advocate and support for people affected by sexual assault and harassment.<\/p>\n So peruse the activities below and make a commitment, even if just a small one, to participating in this important campaign.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Activity 1 – read & learn<\/strong><\/p>\n FUSA have developed some excellent reading materials covering the topics of consent, sexual assault and harassment, rape culture, and bystander behaviour. You might think you know all this stuff, but I am confident you probably don’t. I didn’t. Get access to all the readings by clicking this sentence. <\/a><\/p>\n Or click here to get the pdf booklet<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Activity 2 – watch<\/strong><\/p>\n FUSA are holding two film screenings on the 8th and 9th of May at the Multimedia Lounge on the ground floor of the hub. On the 8th is ‘Flirting with Danger’<\/a>, a film exploring the line between consent and coercion. On the 9th is ‘The Mask You Live In”<\/a>, a doco by Jennifer Siebel Newsom following the lives of young men as they navigate definitions of masculinity.<\/p>\n They’ve also prepared some custom video content of their own, cause they are spesh.<\/p>\n![\"Read\"](\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2018\/05\/babh1.png\")
