Respect Week

Respect Week is all about coming together to build a culture of respect, on campus and online. Join us for a week of events and activities.

Creating change starts with everyday actions.

Respect Week invites you to listen, learn, and speak up through a week of events focused on consent, respect, and safe, healthy relationships. Together, we can build a safer, more respectful community on campus and beyond.

Respect Week is a joint initiative of Victorian universities and TAFEs, working together to promote safe and respectful relationships.
