Gender & Sexual Violence Ongoing Programs
The Human Rights and Equity Office and Gender and Sexual Violence Support and Education offer a series of workshops aimed to raise awareness for issues of sexual violence. These workshops take an intersectional approach to confronting sexual violence by highlighting different communities’ perspectives.
This semester, workshops will take place on Sakai and in Teams. First, participants will be asked to complete a 30 minute educational module in Sakai. Then, there will be an hour-long Microsoft Teams Seminar session to discuss what was learnt and engage in some experiential learning activities.
For access to Sakai, please register on Experience BU for this event at least 3-hours before the scheduled Seminar on our ExperienceBU page . We ask that you please complete the Sakai module BEFORE the Teams Seminar to be able to attend and engage in the seminar.
Those who complete 5 workshops over the course of the year will be awarded the Standard Sexual Violence Education and Support Certificate. Those who complete 10 workshops will be awarded the Advanced Sexual Violence Education and Support Certificate.
