To create educational and work environments at the University of Hawaiʻi at 惭ā苍辞补 that are free from sexual harassment and discrimination, the campus has several valuable resources including the 惭ā苍辞补 Advocate. The confidential provides assessment, support, resources and navigation for 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 students, faculty or staff who may be experiencing sex- or gender-based discrimination, harassment, sexual assault, domestic/dating violence or stalking.
“I want people of the 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补 community to know that I’m here for them. If anyone thinks they may be experiencing sex- or gender-based harassment, discrimination, or violence they don’t have to feel alone,” said 惭ā苍辞补 Advocate Jamie Newalu. “There are options and support for them, and I’m here to help them navigate their options. It can be particularly tricky for those in dating or domestic violence relationships, so I encourage them to reach out for support when they are ready.”
Students and staff who need assistance can reach out to the office to discuss their options (i.e. reporting, interventions, support) both within and outside of 东精影业 惭ā苍辞补. Services that the 惭ā苍辞补 Advocate can offer are referrals, counseling, advocacy, safety planning and support as appropriate to the personal circumstances.
The 惭ā苍辞补 Advocate is a designated confidential resource for Title IX related matters. Limitations to confidentiality may apply if the responding party (alleged perpetrator, offender or abuser) is an employee of 东精影业, as the university may have a duty to respond. In such circumstances, privacy will be upheld to the extent permitted by law.
