Sexual abuse and sexual violence awareness week Bedford

Monday 3rd Feb - Sun 9th Feb 2025 is Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness week. 

The aim of this campaign is to highlight and challenge the issues of sexual abuse and violence by encouraging safe discussions, challenge unsafe societal norms, stereotypes and misconceptions. 

The Beds SU Advice service will be facilitating awareness stalls this week where advice staff will be on hand to discuss, highlight and promote options of support available to students, both within the University and with external services. 

The idea of this is to empower students to know their options of what help is available if they are a survivor of sexual abuse and/or violence. We would also like to encourage all students to individually challenge and educate themselves on the matter to be positive allies in this campaign against harm. 

We want our students to know that Beds SU stands against Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence and stands with survivors.
