What is Sexual Violence?

Sexual Violence is a continuum of non-consensual sexual contact and behaviour which includes sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, sexual exploitation, indecent exposure, and voyeurism. To learn more about Sexual Violence, please visit our Learn page. 

Brock University recognizes that Sexual Violence is a serious and complex issue that can adversely affect Brock Community Members. Brock University unequivocally prohibits and will not condone, tolerate, or ignore any form of Sexual Violence that affects the work and learning environment at the University.  

Brock University has adopted a Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy to address reports and incidents of sexual violence that affect the work and learning environment at Brock. For more information, Human Rights & Equity has prepared a Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy – Introduction and FAQ . If you have any further questions on the Policy, please contact a Human Rights and Equity team member.
