As a content warning, please note that this webpage includes information about gender-based violence and sexual violence. We understand that this can trigger strong reactions and we encourage the community to connect with Carleton University’s Sexual Assault Support Centre and/or Health and Counselling Services for support. Additional community supports can also be found here.
Every year from November 25 to December 10, people all over the world observe the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. During this time, Carleton University encourages the community to grow awareness about this important issue and to foster everyday activism and commitment to ending gender-based violence.
One of the most impactful ways to prevent and end gender-based violence is to believe survivors.
