Upcoming Resource Spotlight
We Have the Courage to Act: A National Collaboration To Address and Prevent Gender-Based Violence at Post-Secondary Institutions in Canada

May 3rd, 2022 | 1:00 - 2:30 PM EASTERN TIME 

In this Resource Spotlight, presenters will share the work of Courage to Act, a multi-year national initiative to address and prevent GBV at post-secondary institutions (PSI) in Canada. Led by Possibility Seeds, a social change consultancy that works alongside communities, organizations, and institutions to cultivate gender equity, it builds on key recommendations from the vital 2019 Courage to Act report. The project is the first collaborative to bring together over 170 of Canada’s top GBV campus experts and advocates.

Participants attending this Resource Spotlight will:

1. Understand the current prevalence of GBV at post-secondary institutions in Canada, as well as promising practices, policies and strategies to address this issue;
2. Learn about the range of community-based, collaboratively-created, peer-reviewed resources to inform GBV prevention and intervention efforts at PSIs across Canada;
3. Learn about how you and your PSI can take effective action to address and prevent GBV on campus.
