Seeking greater support for sexualized violence prevention for BC campuses from the provincial government. Advocated for the BC government to: Renew the $760,000 to address campus sexualized violence on an annual basis, with the next instalment being allocated towards developing online consent and sexualized violence prevention education that is tailored to online learning environments; Amend the Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act to include standardized requirements as to what a sexual violence and misconduct policy should have; Ensure that the provincial government, in the time between a potential amendment, encourages PSIs to create comprehensive policies that include acknowledgements of rape culture, survivor-centric approaches, affirmations of consent culture, intersectionality, and more; Adopt into regulation the 11 minimum standards identified by Students For Consent Culture regarding the Sexualized Violence and Misconduct Policy Act; Require institutions to submit annual public reports on their policy implementation progress as well as data on the usage of the policy; Review and revise other legislation in light of our current understanding of sexualized violence, its impacts, and survivor-centred approaches, such as privacy legislation and Worksafe BC legislation.
