Is it still okay to report?

My question is, if the person doesn’t struggle, because maybe they feel like they don’t have the strength […] is it still okay to report the case?

Recommendations

  • Use an app or other tool that allows students to anonymously ask questions about sexual violence and university policies against sexual violence.

  • Deliver accessible education about Canadian sexual assault laws, including how they work, and the ways they tend to fail survivors in practice.

  • Create and promote avenues for comprehensive consent education.

  • Use multiple formats to deliver accessible education about the SV/SA policy during orientation and at least once per semester
