Universities to join ‘It Stops Now’ campaign

Two more major universities are expected by the end of this week to lend their support to the new campaign aimed at preventing sexual harassment and violence in third-level education.

The ‘It Stops Now’ campaign was officially launched yesterday as part of the Europe-wide ESHTE (Ending Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence in Third Level Education) initiative, backed by the National Women’s Council of Ireland, the Union of Students of Ireland and student unions.

Third-level institutions including Dublin City University, University College Cork, and University College Dublin have also lent official support.
