To promote awareness of and take action to prevent sexual violence, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> is holding the first UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Respect Walk<\/a> on Monday, April 16. Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in the 1-mile walk around the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa campus that starts and ends at the Campus Center Courtyard.<\/p>\n

The event is presented by the Prevention, Awareness and Understanding (PAU<\/abbr>) Violence Program<\/a> in partnership with the Sex Abuse Treatment Center. “Throughout the event, students and faculty can learn more about the resources available to address sexual violence, including confidential advocacy, respondent support and health services,” said Leslie Cabingabang<\/strong>, PAU<\/abbr> Violence Program coordinator at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n

“Additionally, participants can learn more about what we can all do individually to be prosocial bystanders and prevent situations that can potentially lead to sexual violence,” Cabingabang said.<\/p>\n

Organizers say that too often bystanders do not intervene in personal relationships because they feel it is not their place or it is not safe to get involved. They hope to raise consciousness about actions that can be taken to prevent sexual violence.<\/p>\n
