International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

November 25 is the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today.

The theme for this year is "Leave no one behind" to reflect the UNiTE Campaign's "commitment to a world free from violence for all women and girls around the world, while reaching the most underserved and marginalized, including refugees, migrants, minorities, indigenous peoples, and populations affected by conflict and natural disasters, amongst others, first."

Whether you are male, female or gender neutral you can find support at JCU. The Safety and Wellbeing page provides information for staff and students who have experiences bullying, harrassment, and assult, sexual or otherwise.

JCU also offers a free, confidential counseling service for all staff and students.
