00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,560
Wominjeka everybody,
2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:11,200
At RMIT, the safety of our community is
a fundamental right, not a nice to have.
3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,440
Every individual should wake up with the
confidence to come to study or work knowing
4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,372
they'll be treated with respect.
5
00:00:20,372 --> 00:00:23,120
We should expect nothing less.
6
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:31,040
A community built on respect condemns violence in all its forms and takes a zero-tolerance
7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:37,600
approach towards inappropriate behaviour,
including sexual harassment and assault.
8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,560
A community built on respect should also
be proactive and genuinely strive to make
9
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,848
a positive difference to the lives of others.
10
00:00:49,848 --> 00:00:53,711
So thank you to the countless RMIT students and staff
11
00:00:53,711 --> 00:00:58,350
who have taken the opportunity to
learn how to become an active bystander.
12
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:02,880
I stand with you and promise
that I will never look away.
13
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:09,840
I'm also proud of the students and staff who
have leaned on our wonderful support services and
14
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,074
communities to look after themselves and others.
15
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,360
You're never alone.
16
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,880
RMIT will continue to uphold the highest standards of respect and care and do everything we can
17
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,640
to stamp out sexual harm, gender-based
violence and inappropriate behaviour.
18
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:36,000
But our work in creating a safe and respectful
community is never done, because one incident
19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,310
of sexual assault or harassment is one too many.
20
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:44,705
Take care of yourself and take care of each other.
21
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:47,920
Later this year, RMIT is taking part
22
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,007
in the National Student Safety
Survey as part of the Respect Now Always initiative.
23
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,720
This survey will gather critical information
that will help Australian Universities
24
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,560
collectively reduce incidents of sexual harm
as well as support those who experience it.
25
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Through this initiative and others, RMIT
is committed to ensuring every student
26
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,880
and staff member feels valued, respected and safe.
27
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,640
Sexual harassment and assault areÂ
difficult topics to confront and discuss.
28
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,480
We know this can be deeply distressing for
some people in the RMIT community and beyond.
29
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Our message to anyone feeling
the impacts of these discussions,
30
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,897
especially those with a lived experience, is
one of solidarity
31
00:02:36,897 --> 00:02:38,727
we are here to listen to you,
32
00:02:38,727 --> 00:02:39,873
to believe you
33
00:02:40,081 --> 00:02:43,728
and to let you know that
support is available, if you need it.
34
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Let s continue to work together in
creating positive change for gender equity,
35
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,870
contributing to a culture of respect.
36
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:56,913
Let's look out for one another across our RMIT community.
37
00:02:56,913 --> 00:02:59,003
Thank you and take care.
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:04,560
