If you are a victim or survivor of sexual violence, it is important to know that what you have experienced was not your fault. No one deserves to be treated this way, no matter the circumstances. You deserve support, and you deserve to have your voice heard.
The ARU Student Sexual Violence Advocacy Service (SSVA) is here to support you if you have been subjected to sexual violence of any form. The SSVA Service will listen and believe. They will also offer practical support and advocacy.
You can access support from the SSVA Service if you have been subjected to sexual violence, no matter where it took place or who it was perpetrated by. The SSVA Service also supports students who were subjected to historical or child sexual abuse prior to joining ARU.
The ARU Student Sexual Violence Advocacy Service provides practical support and advocacy in order to help you remain studying at ARU safely.
There is no pressure to access SSVA support; it should always be your choice and should be accessed when it feels right for you. If you don’t feel ready to access support yet, then that is okay.
