Sexual+Harassment

We settled upon this project because the student health council identified sexual harassment as an issue in the school. Additionally, the data from the NB Student Wellness survey supported our selection of sexual harassment as a tangible issue. We were responsible for promoting awareness of s exual harassment in the high school. We surveyed students and asked them about their experiences concerning sexual harassment, and developed presentations for Grade 11 and Grade 12 students. Feel free to check out our presentations, which we have uploaded and included below.

We surveyed students at FHS to capture some of their experiences surrounding sexual harassment. We surveyed around 100 students and found some interesting results.

-40% experienced sexual harassment at school -50% have witnessed sexual harassment at school -Students were more likely to discuss being harassed with a peer rather than a teacher or parent -The most common place students experienced sexual harassment was school dances.

We had hoped to be able to network with a student led groups and train them to continue the presentations. Unfortunately, we were not able to follow through with this plan but we believe that it is something future groups should consider.
