The anonymous survey is open to all current and former students of tertiary institutions across Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and will be open until 1 June. It invites participants to share their experiences of sexual harm in tertiary spaces. These stories will shape a new report to be released during Suffrage Week in September.
