Sexualized Violence
Everyone has the right to live, learn, work and play in an environment free from sexualized violence.
The Sexualized Violence Resource Office (SVRO), located in Equity and Human Rights (EQHR), supports all UVic students, staff and faculty impacted by sexualized violence—whether directly, indirectly or as someone offering support.
