Respect at Uni Week
17 - 21 March 2025
In 2025 the theme for Respect at Uni Week was Beyond the Stereotypes: Rethinking Masculinity in the Prevention of Gender-based Violence. Across the week we delved into masculinity, examining the factors that contribute to gender-based violence and looking at actionable solutions for our communities.
What is Respect at Uni Week?
Respect at Uni Week is a dedicated week of conversations and activities designed to foster a university culture that prioritises respect, consent, and gender equity.
In March 2025, we took a deep dive into masculinity, looking at the drivers of gender-based violence (GBV). We explored the impact of everyday behaviours, the power of bystander intervention, and how we can all play a part in preventing GBV.
