Consent Matters

Launched in January 2016, the Consent Matters campaign (#ConsentMattersSFU) is an annual campaign hosted by the Sexual Violence Support & Prevention Office (SVSPO). The primary goal of the Consent Matters campaign is to foster a culture of consent, care, and respect at SFU and FIC by:

  • Familiarizing the SFU and FIC community (students, staff, and faculty) with the concept of affirmative consent
  • Offering ideas for how to practice consent in various settings
  • Sharing information to increase awareness about the SVSPO’s support and educational services

Consent Matters 2024: Beyond the Click

For this year’s annual #ConsentMattersSFU 2024 campaign, the SVSPO is hosting Beyond the Click: The Importance of Digital Consent, an online conversation with Alexa Dodge and Val Hathiraman.  

Alexa and Val will share practical insights and experience researching and supporting people who have been impacted by technology-facilitated gender-based violence. The conversation will be facilitated by SFU student, Salomé Mengo-Morales.
