Launch of ‘It Stops Now’ Website - Ending Sexual Violence and Harassment in Third Level Education

Published: Tuesday, April 03, 2018

Last month NWCI was delighted to launch the ‘It Stops Now’ campaign website as part of the ESTHE Project which is funded by the European Union. The project aims to tackle sexual violence and harassment in Third Level Institutions.

The ‘It Stops Now’ website creates a much needed ‘one stop shop’ for students, student unions and societies, staff and others committed to promoting a culture of zero tolerance and stamping out the harmful behaviours that act as barriers to women’s equality, safety and their full participation in the university experience .

The website contains information for student victims of sexual violence and harassment, policies, research and advice on how to create change. The website is also currently being translated into a number of different languages.

The next step of the project is to develop a Europe wide adaptable toolkit and begin rolling out training to the staff of third level institutes to support their efforts on this issue.

We are also in the process of developing posters, postcards and a video as part as part of our nationwide awareness raising campaign.
