We believe you.

A safe place for students, faculty, and staff.

If you have been affected by sexualized violence, it is NOT your fault.

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO) is a confidential place for those who have been impacted by any form of sexual or gender-based violence, harassment, or harm, regardless of where or when it took place. SVPRO aims to be a safer space for all UBC students, faculty, and staff by respecting each person’s unique and multiple identities and experiences. All genders and sexualities are welcome.

We do not believe sexualized violence is an inevitability. SVPRO works to educate the UBC community in the prevention of sexual and gender-based violence from an intersectional, decolonizing, anti-oppression framework. We invite you to join us.

You do not have to go the hospital or make a police report to get help from our office.

Just want to talk?

We are here to listen and help you explore your options.
