NWCI is pleased to announce the launch of our exciting new campaign ‘It Stops Now,’ which is part of the ESHTE Project aiming to combat and prevent Sexual Harassment & Violence in Third Level Education.
We are delighted to lead on the ESHTE Project with EU partners: Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS) in Cyprus, Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS), The Women’s Issues Information Centre (WIIC) in Lithuania and The Women’s Equality Commissioner, Ludwig-Maximilian University Munich in Germany. Each project partner is working with higher education institutions, both staff and students, statutory agencies and NGO’s focused on combatting sexual violence and harassment against women.
The project will build a culture of zero tolerance of sexual harassment and violence in third level institutions by raising awareness through active campaigning and by developing training and policy resources for students and staff. ESHTE project actions will work to ensure there is a coherent framework driving clear reporting and disclosure mechanisms, resourcing strong support services and ensuring long-term, sustainable interventions.
Our launch event will be a unique opportunity to learn more about the project and how you can become involved. Please register for the event here
