Sexual Misconduct and Violence

At Durham University, we recognise that sexual misconduct and violence, including, but not limited to, rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking and domestic abuse, are matters of international concern impacting university communities.

Through our Sexual Misconduct & Violence Operations Group, we are focused on making Durham a safer place to live, work and study.
