Safesa: provide an institutional response to situations of harassment and/or gender-based and sexual violence within the Arts Colleges and higher education for social advancement of the Academic Center of Brussels

Safesa is a project supported by the Academic Pole of Brussels and initiated by the Higher Schools of Arts of the Brussels region.

This project is part of a dual context. More and more in recent years, society has faced a freedom of speech on acts of gender-based and sexual violence and harassment. Whether they like it or not, institutions are impacted by this freedom of speech: facts within them are denounced, a response from them is expected and practices are questioned. In higher arts schools in particular, this question is all the more significant as the pedagogy developed there resorts to the intimate and exposes the body, it therefore creates more situations opening the door to ambiguity and abuse. to be able to. This context therefore requires specific attention. This one-year project will make it possible to specify the needs, the expectations, and the financial conditions necessary for the continuation of the management of these questions. It will also produce an instruction manual for students and institutions on the legal steps to follow.

Launched at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year, this pilot project is intended to last until October 2023.
