Media has the power to shape conversations about violence in our communities. Use The Right Words provides the language and resources to report on #sexualviolence in ways that do not shame or blame survivors. loom.ly/fvzVb5s #supportsurvivors #media #language

OUSA is joining @OntUniv in urging @ONgov for increased #ONpse funding. The quality of students' education and their campus services are at risk. The time is now - we need a commitment from the province for greater investments. Read our joint statement:bit.ly/48T7xrd

It can be difficult to talk about #sexualviolence & to know what to say when a friend/family member/coworker discloses someone else harmed them using sexually violent behaviors. It's vital to really listen and be supportive. Learn more: loom.ly/QJBxUUU #IBelieveYou #ab

"What’s happening with students is that not only are they living in poverty, but they’re continuing to put themselves in poverty in order to access education,” stated Rachelle Preston, VPX of the ULSU. Great coverage of this critical issue by @taprootyeg!

I was quite poor in university. No financial help from family. I survived on cheap (unhealthy) food & cheap rent. If the cost of living was as high as it is now I would have been lining up for foodbanks too. #yeg edmonton.taproot.news/news/2…

Today we honour the memories of 14 women who were killed on this day in 1989 at École Polytechnique in Montreal simply because they were women. We must continue to oppose all forms of gender-based violence. Higher education is for everyone. #STEM is for everyone.
