SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND VIOLENCE

ACAP provides reporting, disclosure and support options for students who have experienced or witnessed sexual assault or harassment. Discussing or reporting sexual assault and harassment can be difficult and distressing. Our aim is for this process to be as safe, private and simple as possible.

UNFORTUNATELY YOU ARE NOT ALONE

In Australia, one in two women and one in four men have experienced sexual harassment during their lifetime. One in five women and one in twenty men experience sexual violence. Some of those most likely to experience sexual harassment or sexual assault in the wider community are the same groups that study and work at ACAP, particularly women aged 18-34.

Sexual harassment and violence occurs in all social groups and cultures, and across all ages

Sexual assault and sexual harassment can occur in partner relationships (including same-sex relationships) and between family members, colleagues, peers and caregivers. ACAP is committed to an inclusive campus community, free from harassment, discrimination and assault.
