Consent campaign signals zero tolerance for sexual violence in third level institutions – Carroll MacNeill
2nd March 2021 - Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, TD
The ‘Start Here’ campaign aims to equip students and staff with practical information to help tackle the endemic sexual harassment and violence in our Higher Education institutions, a Fine Gael TD has said.
Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said Minister Simon Harris’ campaign will provide students and staff with practical information on how to respond to disclosures of sexual violence.
Deputy Carroll MacNeill said, “Young people in our third-level institutions have been, and continue to be, assaulted, raped and subjected to sexual violence. However, we still see worryingly low disclosure and reporting rates amongst students.

Kerrin Bradfield, the chair of the Society of Australian Sexologists, says we all have a responsibility during sex to make sure people feel safe.
