Newsletter, Spring/Summer 2013: Campus Safety for Women

Opening text: “This edition focuses on campus safety for women and groups at high risk of assault and harassment. In recent years there have been many news stories about violence on campuses across the country, but METRAC has demonstrated innovation and leadership on campus safety for almost 25 years. In 1989 we introduced the first Women’s Campus Safety Audit Guide to enhance public safety for women, the disproportionate targets of sexual violence on campus. Since then, we’ve worked with thousands of students, staff, faculty members and administrators to generate extensive improvements to safety across Canadian campuses. Our Campus Safety Audit recommendations have resulted in enhancements to building design and layout, lighting, sightlines, signage, security programs
and policies.”
