Disclosures of Gender-Based and Sexual Violence

A disclosure of an experience with gender-based and sexual violence does not require a formal complaint be submitted. The Gender-Based Violence & Survivor Support Case Manager is there to connect survivors with resources and support, regardless of whether a formal complaint is submitted.

 

Support Options for Survivors of Gender-Based and Sexual Violence

As the survivor, you decide what's next.

Disclosing

A disclosure is the sharing of information by a Survivor with a Member of the University Community concerning an incident of Gender-Based and Sexual Violence.

This may or may not be for the purpose of accessing supports, services, and/or accommodations.

 

Making a formal complaint

Disclosure does not result in a formal complaint being made.
The decision to make a disclosure and that of filing a non-criminal complaint with the University are separate decisions to be made by a survivor.

They are not required to participate in an investigation by the University.
