Respect at ECU Campaign

What is the Respect at ECU campaign?

At ECU, we are committed to creating a safe and respectful environment where sexual harassment has no place. The Respect at ECU campaign is designed to:

  • Raise awareness about sexual harassment.
  • Provide information on where students and staff can report incidents or find support.
  • Prevent further harm by promoting a culture of respect and consent.

Where to find support and report an incident

If you’ve experienced sexual harassment or sexual assault, know that you are not alonehelp is available.  Our priority is to ensure that all students and staff have access to safe and confidential support services. Whether you need someone to talk to, guidance on what to do next, or wish to report an incident, ECU is here for you.

What is sexual harassment?

Sexual harassment happens when someone makes an unwanted sexual advance, asks for sexual favours, or behaves in a sexual way that would make a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, or threatened.

Some examples include:

  • Unwanted touching, hugging, kissing, or staring in a way that makes someone feel uneasy.
  • Making unwelcome jokes, comments, or gestures about someone's body or personal life.
  • Asking intrusive questions about someone's relationships or sex life.
  • Sending explicit pictures, texts, or emails.
  • Pressuring someone to go on a date after they’ve said no.

If something makes you feel uncomfortable, it’s important to seek support. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.
