Sexual violence education & support
As a community, 新加坡六合彩官方网站 is committed to maintaining a respectful and positive learning, working and living environment where sexual violence will not be tolerated and is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
At Douglas we work to prevent and address instances of sexual violence, and support survivors when they disclose incidents. We are also committed to being an active and engaged partner in the conversation around sexual violence, change and support.
Individuals who disclose that they have experienced sexual violence will be provided with support services and will be treated with dignity and respect at all times by the College and its representatives. A person affected by sexual violence is not required to report an incident of or make a complaint about sexual violence under the formal complaint process of the Sexual Violence Policy in order to obtain support and services, or in order to receive appropriate accommodation for their needs.
- Reporting or not reporting is your choice.
- If you choose to report, you have several options and there are many factors to consider. We can assist you in understanding each option so that you have all the necessary information to make an appropriate decision that best suits your needs. At no point, will you be required or pressured to file a formal complaint/report.
- If you need support and just want to talk about your options or need support please contact Counselling.

- - A concept that frames sexual assault as acceptable usually due to attitudes about sexuality and gender. This includes victim blaming, sexual objectification, trivialization of rape, minimization or denial of rape statistics and refusing to acknowledge the harm in sexual assault. Rape culture is expressed in media through video games, movies, music and art. It may also target a person鈥檚 socioeconomic class, culture, race, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and may influence their experience and ability to access resources.
