Violence in our culture creates an environment where we cannot fully participate in every avenue of our lives. It affects our capacity to study, work, pursue an education and engage socially. Violence impacts our own self worth.
The University of Manitoba's current resources and support for students who have been affected by physical, sexual and emotional violence, as well as preventative programs for all students are lacking. This is an issue that needs attention from our student body.
The
Anti-Violence Project is working on creating a service on campus that
would assist ALL students who are dealing with the impacts of
violence. If you want to help, you can fill out our survey
at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TPL9LJZ
and/or contact us at antiviolence@umsu.ca
to get involved in
the planning of our service.
Thank you!
