Sexual Assault Resource Centre to open this Fall

Concordia University will have a Sexual Assault Resource Centre.  

In a report by The Link Newspaper, the university has announced plans to open the centre at the G-M building on the downtown campus.  

The centre's launch caps a two-year campaign initiated by the 21-10 Centre for Gender Advocacy, an independent group promoting gender equality and empowerment.  

Bianca Mugyenyi is the Programming and Campaigns Coordinator for the 21-10 Centre. 

She hopes that there will be as much student involvement as possible to help build a genuine culture of consent at Concordia. 

The Sexual Assault Resource Centre will ready this Fall, once it hires a full-time coordinator who will work with student volunteers and staff from the Counselling and Development department.

The new centre will be funded by Concordia’s University’s Vice-President Services office.
