Sexual Misconduct | Equity Diversity & Inclusion

Sexual and gendered violence of all forms is a pervasive reality in today's world.

Being in the education sector, universities have a unique opportunity and responsibility to effect social change and eliminate sexual and gendered violence in our society. These behaviours, values and beliefs are discordant with our values, and codes of conduct. It is our legal, and moral obligation to ensure everyone at UNSW feels safe and is treated with respect.
