Join Harriet Smailes, a PhD researcher, for an engaging webinar as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. 

This session explores the sexual violence continuum and the critical importance of addressing "lower-level" behaviours. Gain a deeper understanding of consent, respecting boundaries, and how to challenge inappropriate behaviour constructively. 

Harriet, whose PhD research focuses on university approaches to responding to sexual violence (a project supported by the University of Law), will lead a thought-provoking discussion designed to help you reflect on your own boundaries and perceptions. Together, let's work towards creating safer, more respectful environments for everyone.
