Ambassador Campus Program
end gender-based violence by creating safer campuses and student communities across Canada
According to Sexual Violence at Canadian Universities, at least one in four women attending college or university in Canada will be sexually assaulted by the time they graduate. As part of our vision, no woman should be made to feel unsafe or experience abuse or violence on their university campus.
Post-secondary institutions across Canada are embracing the Moose Hide Campaign as a way to create safer spaces, both on and off campus, and as a way to support reconciliation and inclusion.
Joining the Campaign promotes the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry Calls for Justice.
Get Your Campus Involved
It’s easy and free for your Post-Secondary Institution to participate in the Moose Hide Campaign. Whether you are a student or school administrator, here are some of the ways many ways to to show support:
- Wear and share the Moose Hide pin. Distribute these pins of hope and solidarity to raise awareness on campus.
- Set up a campaign kiosk so students can pick up a pin and find out more.
- Take part in a Moose Hide Campaign gathering and encourage members of your post-secondary community to join you.
