VE Respect & Equality Week 2024

Everyone at RMIT deserves to feel safe, included and valued – and it all starts with respect.

VE Respect & Equality Week is a great opportunity to connect with other students and staff and learn more about what RMIT is doing to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, sexual harassment, harm and assault in our community.

There’s lots you can do:

If you need support

If you have experienced sexual harassment, harm or assault, or any other unsafe or uncomfortable behaviour, help is always available. Contact our dedicated support service for students and staff Safer Community.

Students hold paper fans that read "I'm a fan of respect."
