International students who experienced sexual violence in university settings can also turn to the agency to seek support. For a long time, student leaders and advocates have found international students survivors of sexual violence have been left in the dark, due to indeaquate support. In March, SBS Chinese reported on a former Chinese student at Griffith College experienced sexual harassment from a tutor. Griffith College told SBS Chinese that they were aware of the allegation, and had met with the student.
