About the event
We at UN Women Oxford personally feel that sexual assault and violence is an extremely crucial topic in the world today. For both men and women, the repercussions of sexual assault, are needless to say, long-lasting and harrowing. We hope to bring the topic to the front of our community’s mind: this panel will consider the realities and misconceptions of sexual assault, and with hope, bring some prospects of recovery and betterment, across Oxford and beyond.
