Use Your Voice!

IN-SIGHT is an anonymous harassment, discrimination, or bias/hate incident submission form which allows members of the Queen's community to submit incidents of harassment, discrimination, hate, and violence targeting personal characteristics protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code (e.g., race, religion, sexual orientation, disability) which have been experienced or witnessed.

The purpose of IN-SIGHT is to gather anonymized aggregate statistical information about incidents occurring on/off campus. The platform offers a way for Queen’s community members (students, staff, faculty etc) to anonymously share information about harassment, discrimination, or bias/hate concerns so that the information can be used to identify systemic trends.

The Allyship & Belonging Student Calendar (ABC) is a central hub for finding and promoting events and initiatives across campus specifically for equity-deserving students and students wanting to become better allies. Use the filter tool to find events for you. Visit today to get involved and follow @QueensShiftProject on Instagram for a weekly round-up of events!
