Hollaback! Birmingham joins Bham Uni Zero Tolerance Campaign
Hollaback! Birmingham has joined forces with the University of Birmingham’s Zero Tolerance campaign against harassment and bullying.
Last year the Guild adopted Zero Tolerance policy in regards to harassment in all Guild venues and events, the Guild has now been accredited as a Zero Tolerance Union by the National Union of Students (NUS).
The Guild & Hollaback! Birmingham, alongside the University of Birmingham has chosen to expand upon the NUS campaign, ensuring the whole of campus takes a Zero Tolerance approach towards not only sexual harassment but all forms of harassment.
The Guild believes all harassment whether based on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, medical condition, ethnicity, age, or any other characteristic perceived or actual should be challenged and not tolerated.
Get Involved!
