2018 is a special year for the Revolution

The global #Metoo movement has created ripples of change everywhere. Calls to our Sexual Assault Care Centre have almost doubled. And it is time for more action. We will be officially launching the #Metoo Action Fund at the Revolution Ball to: a) end sexual assault, harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace; and b) support and empower all survivors of sexual harassment and assault.

In particular, the fund will help us to expand the outreach and capacity of the Sexual Assault Care Centre, collaborate with other stakeholders, carry out new research, and provide public education. Join us to end sexual violence in all its forms.
