At Seneca Polytechnic, we are committed to fostering healthy relationships and safer communities.

It is important to understand what sexual violence is and how to support those affected by it. Consent@Seneca aims to equip and empower students with the tools to build a culture of consent on and off campus. 

This online space offers information on resources for survivors and those supporting them, sexual violence prevention, and more around consent and healthy relationships.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence (16 Days) is an annual international campaign, occurring from November 25 to December 10. This campaign began in 1991 to call out and speak up against gender-based violence (GBV), and to renew our commitment to ending violence against women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities (Government of Canada). This year's theme is: Ensure justice, protect survivors, end impunity.

Become familiar with the campaign, empowered by support resources, and inspired to act! Start here, where we share something you can do on each day during the campaign. Attend workshops, hear from student voices, and get the badge! Select the links below to register and learn more.

Practise Self-Care

We know talking about sexual violence can be difficult, so we encourage you to practise self-care while navigating the Consent@Seneca online space. 

❤️ Listen to your body: Have water nearby, stand and stretch if you are comfortable and able, and be mindful of your breathing. 

♥️ Be patient with yourself: We are all learning, unlearning, and relearning. You aren’t expected to be an expert by the end of this module — you’re doing your best by showing up today.

♥️ Know that support is available: Learn more at Get Support.
