Finding Support
What to do if you have experienced sexual violence
Sexual violence can impact you in ways that are hard to anticipate and plan for. It is broad and includes a range of behaviours, such as sexual assault, stalking, indecent exposure, voyeurism, sexual exploitation, and others.
Disclosing or Reporting an incident
U of T’s Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment distinguishes between a disclosure and a report of sexual violence or harassment. Disclosing or reporting are separate decisions that result in different levels of response or action by the University.
