In a joint statement released by Time’s Up Ateneo and the Sanggunian Commission on Anti-Sexual Misconduct and Violence, the Ateneo administration was asked to “duly honor survivors, their healing, and their vision of justice.”
“We call for a survivor-centered and trauma-informed approach in reforming our systems to address SGBV (sexual and gender-based violence). We call on the university administration to be true to the principle of the Code that commits to do no harm and to refrain from the revictimization and retraumatization of survivors,” the statement read.
The groups also sought an apology from the administration for the “misleading” memorandum it released on Oct. 23, 2019, which “discredited the stories and voices of survivors and their advocates.”
