Feminist coalitions across Tāmaki
Makaurau are calling on elected leaders to put an end to
sexual violence in Aotearoa. The coalitions on Saturday,
April 10 at 2pm, will march down Queen Street to demand the
immediate implementation of harm reduction systems, consent
education and funding for violence interventionist services
across the country.
Attendees will gather in Aotea
Square and proceed the march down Queen Street following a
number of speeches and performances. This includes support
from Hon. Marama Davidson, the current Minister for
Prevention of Family and Sexual Violence.
Next week, The Daily Evergreen will run a special edition focused entirely on sexual assault awareness. Given that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this special edition feels particularly timely.
We published a story last week about a reported instance of sexual harassment involving WSU students. After that article was published, we received multiple news tips about students’ experiences with sexual assault, harassment and the reporting process.
It is clear to us at The Evergreen that this is an issue many students have faced and are currently facing. It is devastating to hear so many stories of sexual violence, especially when access to resources is limited because of the pandemic.
