MIT Reaffirms Zero Tolerance for Gendered Violence

 

At MIT, we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful and inclusive community for all members of our institution. As part of this commitment, MIT partners with White Ribbon Australia, a national organisation dedicated to preventing men’s violence against women and families and promoting gender equality. For more information about White Ribbon, please visit www.whiteribbon.org.au.

Our institution has a zero-tolerance approach to gendered violence. Gendered violence, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, coercion, intimidation, and any behaviour that diminishes the dignity or safety of others, has no place in our community. This means that any form of gendered violence is taken seriously, responded to promptly, and addressed through fair and robust processes. Every student, staff member, contractor, and visitor has the right to learn, work and participate in our community free from harassment, discrimination and violence.

Creating a safe environment is a shared responsibility. We expect all members of our community to uphold the highest standards of respect and professionalism. This includes challenging inappropriate behaviour, supporting those who may experience harm, and contributing to a culture where everyone feels safe to speak up.

We recognise that responding effectively to gendered violence requires clear policies, strong support systems, and a culture of trust. Our institution provides confidential support services, reporting pathways, and trauma-informed responses for anyone affected by gendered violence. We encourage individuals who experience or witness concerning behaviour to seek support and report it so that we can take appropriate action.

Please contact our counsellors for any students and staff experiencing gendered violence. Read more…
