Tēnā koe,

I am writing to request information on sexual violence definitions,
incidents, and responses at The University of Waikato  over the past
five years:

1. Reported Acts of Sexual Violence: We are hoping to understand the
number of reported acts of sexual violence that have been brought to the
university's attention within the last five years and the number of
these that occurred in university premises (including halls of
residence) and the number that occurred outside of university premises.

2. University Definition of Sexual Violence: We would also appreciate
clarification on whether the university has an established definition
for operationalizing sexual violence. If so, could this definition
please be provided.

3. University Responses to Sexual Violence: In addition, we seek
information on the existing responses that the university has
implemented to address and combat sexual violence.

We recognize that sexual violence is a complex issue, and we acknowledge
that the number of reported incidents does not reflect the safety of the
university environment. Instead, we understand that the focus should be
on creating an environment where students feel comfortable and supported
in seeking help and assistance from the university. We appreciate your
cooperation in providing this information as we believe that
understanding and addressing sexual violence will help create a safe and
supportive environment.

Ngā mihi,
Elia Gibbons
