ECU is seeking staff and students to join the Respect at ECU Advisory Group. This group is pivotal in finalising the Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response Plan and then guiding the implementation of the Plan within the University.
ECU seeks student and staff feedback on our Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Response Plan. Students and staff are encouraged to review the plan and provide input via an online survey by Friday 23 August.
ECU has joined forces with Curtin University, UWA, Murdoch University and Notre Dame University for Respect at Uni Week. This year, Respect at Uni Week will run from 18 - 22 March.
Respect at Uni Week is an initiative from the Victorian Tertiary Primary Prevention Network, promoting the importance of respect, equality and inclusion on our campuses and online spaces.
Today, 26 October, ECU is commemorating Intersex Awareness Day by raising the intersex flag on our metro campuses and calling on other education institutions to sign the Darlington Statement and commit to intersex inclusive practices, policy and curriculum.
Disability Pride Month is a celebration of disability identity, community, and advocacy. Historically, ableist ideas of disability have been socially constructed as the truth, where disability is seen as something shameful to be hidden from public space. Disability Pride is a response and counteraction against these ableist social stigmas, placing the autonomy of disabled identity into the hands of people with disability to define.
We would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land upon which ECU's campuses stand and programs operate.
