Zali Steggall MP reaffirms support for the Universities Accord and preventing Gender-Based Violence
25 August 2025
I want to start by thanking all the very courageous young people who came forward with their stories of abuse, of harassment, of assault, to ensure this issue got prominence and got acted upon. We know it is all too often incredibly hard to com forward and share those experiences. I know as a parent, I want my young adults to be part of an educational environment where they feel secure and supported. University must be places where students can focus on their studies and aspirations, without concerns about their safety. Whether they are on camps, online, or in student accommodation, every student, regardless of gender, background or circumstance, deserves to pursue their education without fear of violence, harassment, discrimination, and certainly not assault.
