In a university context, we have the privileged opportunity to facilitate and support student development both academically and beyond. Traumatic incidents of sexual harassment and violence, unwanted advances and unsolicited abusive comments are a deeply ingrained societal reality and are no less prevalent among third-level students. By developing the University College Cork (UCC) Bystander Intervention programme we aim to raise awareness through education and empowerment about the destructive and devastating reality of sexual violence and harassment amongst third level students and indeed in society more broadly.
