Red Flag Campaign
Each February, the sexual health Peer Health Educator team hosts a social media campaign in collaboration with Queens University Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Services (QUSVPRS) with the goal of sharing information on identifying and responding to relationship red flags.
The Red Flag Campaign highlights potential scenarios that may arise in relationships and empowers students to speak up if they spot a relationship red flag.
Featured topics include jealousy, coercion, isolation, victim blaming, emotional abuse, sexual assault, and stalking.
