UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff will be hosting events throughout the month that will equip our community with information on how to prevent dating/intimate partner/domestic violence, create a stronger culture of consent, and how to best support survivors.
UC Berkeley is dedicated to preventing and addressing dating/intimate partner/domestic violence, sexual harassment and sexual violence on campus. We believe in fostering a culture that prioritizes respect, health relationships, and consent, and responds to and supports survivors and their allies. As part of these efforts, we are working to engage all members of the university community to create a healthy and inspiring environment where violence in any form is not tolerated.
Get involved and help end dating and domestic violence.
