I am wondering how exactly a victim-centered approach and the 'Ending Sexual Violence and Harassment Framework' has been implemented in practice in the case of the UCD medical student who was raped, her unconscious image circulated several times to the university community and she was denied the re-sitting of her exams after the trauma? Meanwhile her attacker has now qualified and will have a duty of care towards others? How is the lack of safety and appropriate response being addressed with this particular HEI in relation to the Ending Sexual Violence and Harassment Framework? Thank you
