Actions Against Sexual Violence

Throughout the week we'll be raising awareness of sexual violence, answering your questions, and showing our solidarity with survivors and victims. This year, alongside a range of events, we are asking students and colleagues to take part in ‘5 Actions Against Sexual Violence’.

For Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2025, we’re challenging you to increase your knowledge and understanding of Sexual Violence. Over 1 million adults reported an incident of sexual violence in the year ending March 2022, and this is increasing. There are so many ways you can learn more about this topic.

Check out our 5 Actions Against Sexual Violence below, for suggestions on how you can get informed. You can use your Actions to contribute towards your NTU Award NTU Employability Online

Plus, complete an action for each of the 5 themes below between 3rd February and 14th February and you can be entered for a chance to win a £20 Amazon voucher.

Submit your entry and evidence here

 

It's great to work on your knowledge in your own time, but it can really help to engage in events to learn from other people. Check out the events we have going on that you can join. The whole list of events can be found underneath the actions:

The more we talk about this subject, the less stigmatised it becomes. Now you’ve done some learning, try sharing this!

  • Have a chat with your mates about anything you've seen or read
  • Share what you’ve learned from any of the other actions, on social media (don’t forget to hashtag #ActionsAgainstSexualViolence)
  • Write a blog post – email us at cie@ntu.ac.uk if you want to contribute to the HealthyNTU blog
  • Take a photo of the purple Arkwright building and share this with the hashtag #ActionsAgainstSexualViolence
