anti.violence.project The Anti.Violence.Project is committed to addressing and ending gender-based violence on campus and beyond.

We strive to provide anti-oppressive and sex-positive services, advocacy and action on-campus and off to people of all genders, in partnership and collaboration, in order to address and resist gender-based and all forms of violence. We recognize the inherent connections between colonialism and all other forms of violence. Recognizing the violence of ongoing colonialism and engaging in anti-colonial actions is critical to our work as anti-violence advocates. The anti.violence.project acknowledges the Lkwungen, WSÁNEĆ , and Esquimalt peoples on whose unceded territories we live, work, and play.

As we wrap up Consent Awareness Week, we want to remind folks that practicing consent is an everyday commitment.💜

Consent is like a muscle. The more you practice it, the more intentional you become about listening, respecting boundaries, and checking in with ourselves and others.

Our "Elements of Consent" zine breaks down the 6 elements of consent. Pick up a copy of our zine at the AVP office or support room!💜

Today is Day 4 of Consent Awareness Week, and today we're highlighting how taking action is harm reduction!💜

Creating safer communities is a collaborative effort. Taking action can look like educating ourselves, challenging harmful myths, calling someone in, checking in with a friend, or stepping in as an engaged bystander.

Swipe to learn more, and grab AVP’s How to Be an Engaged Bystander zine from our Support Room or at our tables! 💜

❗TODAY! from 5-6:30pm on Zoom we have a FREE workshop on
Intoxication, Intimacy & Consent: Understanding ethical
consent while drinking or using drugs.

Alcohol and other drugs are a common part of many
social and nightlife experiences, yet conversations
about consent often ignore the realities of intoxication.
This workshop explores how alcohol and other
substances can affect communication, decision-making,
memory, and the ability to freely give or recognize
consent.

Rather than promoting abstinence or relying on
fear-based messaging, participants will learn practical
harm reduction strategies for navigating intimacy
responsibly while under the influence. The workshop
encourages participants to prioritize communication,
recognize when consent cannot be given, and create
experiences that are respectful, pleasurable, and safer
for everyone involved.

Objectives:
💜Build confidence communicating about consent
before, during, and after intimate experiences.
💜Understand practical tools for navigating alcohol,
drugs, and intimacy in ways that prioritize consent and
mutual respect.
💜Strengthen skills for recognizing and responding
when someone may not be able to freely consent.
💜Increase understanding of harm reduction
strategies that support ethical decision-making while
under the influence.
💜Explore how to create intimate experiences that are
consensual, enjoyable, and grounded in clear
communication.
💜Foster shared responsibility for building cultures of
respect, care, and accountability.

Zine of the Week 🌿

This week’s zine is all about self-care. Because caring for yourself is part of caring for your community, too. 💜

Self-care can look different for everyone, and sometimes taking care of yourself can feel like one more thing on an already very long to-do list. This zine explores ways you can care for yourself within the midst of the chaos and make space for what you need.

📖 Pick up your free copy in the AVP Support Room (SUB B024) and take a little time for yourself.
