Our mission

Students for Consent Culture Canada is an organization dedicated to supporting intersectional and grassroots anti-sexual violence advocacy and activism on campuses across Canada by serving as a hub of resources, tools, and institutional memory for students to engage with.

SFCC also engages in advocacy at the provincial and federal level to create better policies, practices, and accountability measures to protect student survivors. Our overall goal is to work towards creating cultures of consent both on campuses and within civil society across Canada.

We are explicitly committed to an intersectional, anti-colonial, and emergent approach to anti-sexual violence work, many of us having lived the change in anti-sexual violence organizing on campuses before and after the #MeToo movement.

Our work takes place across Kanata (also known as Canada) on the unceded territory of different Indigenous communities. Sexual Violence is a symptom of the larger capitalist, colonial system that “Canada” is based off of and continues to perpetuate. We cannot speak of consent on campuses without also acknowledging, unpacking, and actively addressing the ongoing non-consensual relationship Canada has with Indigenous communities. We cannot effect change in a culture where sexual violence is an everyday occurrence without including addressing other forms of violence in our approach.
