Tools on Sexual Violence and Harassment in Post-Secondary Education

Everyone has the right to work, live, and learn in a safe environment. Sexual violence and harassment are serious matters that impact all members of the workplace, the union, and the campus community.

CUPE is committed to addressing and preventing sexual violence in our workplaces. We recognize that there are unique factors to consider when it comes to post-secondary institutions. That’s why we’ve created the following resources to assist and support local executives, union stewards, and members to navigate the process of responding to and preventing sexual violence and harassment within the post-secondary sector.

These tools can be used individually or together, depending on the needs of your local. There is a Checklist, an Accompanying Guide, and a series of fact sheets. Most of the information is targeted at local executives and stewards. There is also an information sheet that can be shared widely and directly with members.

He also has a legal duty to accommodate workers who face barriers to full participation in the workplace. Your union is here to help you and provide you all the support that you need.
