No means No is a campaign of the Canadian Federation of Students to raise awareness and to reduce the occurrence of date rape and dating violence. Although it's a campaign that was developed 10 years ago, it is an issue that is very relevant on our campus today.  

The incidents of sexual assaults this past year have highlighted the need for a deeper look at issues around sexual violence on our campus and in the communities that surround us. The YFS will continue to push for METRAC as an external safety auditor, and insure that student's voices are heard when it comes to finding solutions to safety issues on our campus. The YFS believes that a safe campus means much more than installing lighting and security cameras. A safe campus means looking at safety and security through a holistic lens, changing cultural values on campus, building community, providing proper anti oppression training to all members of the York community, as well as enhancing existing mechanisms.  

The No Means No website has a fact sheet, available in several languages, with information specific to sexual violence on campus.

You can also check York's website for progress on the campus safety audit, including a timeline and contact info for feedback on your experiences at York.

Together, we can make a safer campus where no one needs to be afraid.
