Campus sexual violence reporting tool aims to make reporting incidents easier

Football players, coaches, parents and volunteers now have a platform to protect themselves in Manitoba.

A new partnership was announced Wednesday between Football Manitoba and REES (Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors) to make online reporting for harassment and abuse available to the sport’s community across Manitoba.

St. Clair College students and staff have new options for reporting sexual violence and getting help.

The school announced Tuesday it has partnered with the sexual violence reporting platform REES (Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors).

More than a dozen postsecondary institutions have turned to a new digital tool as a way to increase options for reporting sexual violence on campus. The Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors (REES) platform provides a centralized online space for students, staff and faculty to report incidents and access support services.

In an effort to address sexual violence on campus, Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Que., has introduced an online platform that will allow students, faculty and staff to report their experiences with sexual violence. 

University of Manitoba students will now be able to report sexual violence online anonymously through Respect, Educate, Empower Survivors (REES), an online platform for reporting sexual harassment, misconduct and assault.
