:: Women's Safety Awareness
Campaign ::
In an effort to raise awareness of safety
issues for students, faculty, and staff,
Fanshawe College is proud to launch a campus-wide
response to women's campus safety. The Women's
Safety Awareness campaign, to be launched the week
of November 21, 2005, will help create a safe
and supportive campus community and enhance women's
safety and well-being on and off-campus.
Awareness, education and prevention are critical components
of the Women's Safety Awareness campaign as are
capital improvements and risk reduction efforts. The
Women's Safety Awareness website
also aims to coordinate victim services, campus law
enforcement, health services, and available student
resources.
As part of the campaign, a
series of five posters*
will be displayed
throughout the college,
each representing a different concern.
The Women's Safety Awareness campaign was established in
October 2005, through the generous financial support of the
Women's Campus Safety Program to provide education and
awareness of sexual assault, dating/relationship violence,
stalking and drug-induced sexual assault. Since 1990, funding
has been provided to colleges and universities by the
Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in a
province-wide effort to promote a variety of safety
initiatives for women on campuses across the province.
