Te Whare Tāwharau, along with OUSA and accredited Kia Haumaru Personal Safety facilitator Bell Murphy, have put together this special opportunity for University of Otago and Otago Polytech wahine and gender diverse students.

This unique program offers the chance to deep dive into the issue of sexual harm from a foundation of connection and kinship. The opportunity for self-work and personal safety skills are presented in a supportive, trauma informed context.

This is an excellent chance to add to your personal tool kit as leaders in your community and grow your confidence in navigating the r**e culture still pervasive in our society.
