We wanted to find out how those who have experienced being spiked feel around drinking, 46 stated they experienced increased anxiety, and 35 stated they are extra cautious in drinking environments.

Absolutely fantastic to see the Universities Minister stepping up and stating that NDAs should not be used for cases of Sexual Harassment within UK Universities 👏🏻👏🏻 progress 👏🏻👏🏻

[Rt Hon Michelle Donelan @michelledonelan]

Victims of sexual harassment must be protected and supported. I had written to all higher education providers making clear that the use of NDAs in sexual harassment cases is wholly inappropriate & hiding workplace harassment or withholding details of complaints is unacceptable.

CW: rape

These photos were taken abt 5 mins apart, the institution moves fast to cover up their students talking about being assaulted. As a someone who's been sexually assaulted on two separate times on campus this stings.

[Matt Rogan @MattRxgan]

The fact it took 5 minutes to respond by draping something to cover up the message, when there are serious problems with the uni's handling of sexual violence, speaks volumes. Shame.

“Outlining the problems at York is not enough and it isn’t a proactive narrative, a proactive narrative is providing recommendations to address the problems at hand, which is what we have done in this report.” https://t.co/RkTrlEBxVk
