Quality education-Decent work
SVP is a peer education program aimed at reducing the harm caused by sexualized violence. This is done by providing education about consent and the current social landscape which contributes to instances of sexualized violence, and by improving access to support for those who experience sexualized violence. This program aims to participate in a cultural shift from believing myths about how and why sexualized violence occurs to having social awareness of the beliefs behind these myths and then making changes on how they show up in our society.
Additionally, they provide education to allow the UFV community to better support those who experience sexualized violence. It is believed this reduces harm by increasing individual comfort with support-seeking.

Good health-Partnerships
Half of all people who menstruate say that they have struggled to purchase products for themselves at some time in their life, and more than a quarter have gone through a period without having any products to support them. To help address menstrual inequity, menstrual products are provided in washrooms campus-wide free of charge thanks to the efforts of the Faculty & Staff Association and the Student Union Society.
