当我应该联系性和性别吗Violence Response Coordinator?
Anyone with a question or concern is encouraged to reach out and speak with an advisor. You don't need to have a complaint; you can connect if you're unsure about something.
People who speak with an advisor can launch a complaint resolution process, but it is not mandatory.
GBC community members are strongly encouraged to contact the advisors if they have witnessed sexual or gender-based violence, and employees have a duty to do so.
"We have been trained to make coming forward less triggering and more calming for people seeking support and resources," Esgandanian says.
