VICTORIA A Victoria post-secondary institution is tackling an important issue this week in hopes of changing the culture around unwelcomed sexualize behaviour. Sexualized Violence Awareness Week 2021 at Camosun College will include conversations, information, and workshops on the topic of sexualized and gender-based violence prevention. Sexualized violence is an all-encompassing term that includes sexual assault, sexual abuse and sexual harassment, as well as emotional and psychological harm. Camosun’s office of student support and the Camosun College Student Society are behind the initiative. “We want folks to know that we are aware that this is something that, unfortunately, is ongoing in our community,” says Stephanie Pedneault a student support manager at Camosun and a registered clinical counsellor.
