In light of the recent surge in campus sexual harassment cases reported by newspapers and media outlets, Southern University College, in collaboration with the Global Foon Yew Alumni Association and the main campus of Foon Yew High School, organized a two-day campus gender equality education forum titled “I Have the Power to Say No: Understanding Sexual Harassment.”
Key speakers for the forum included:
· Ms. Lim Wee Mei (Student Affairs Counsellor, Southern University College)
· Dr. Chua Yee Chii (Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology and Counselling, Southern University College)
· Ms. Koh Lian Kin (Foon Yew alumna and practicing lawyer)
The forum was moderated by Dr. Jess Chang (Part-Time Lecturer in Southern University College EMBA Program) for the Senior Middle 2 session, and Dr. Samuel Chan Hsin Chlen (Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology and Counselling, Southern University College) for the Senior Middle 3 session.
To better address students’ needs, the Student Life and Counseling Office of Foon Yew High School collected students’ questions on sexual harassment through an online survey prior to the forum. The speaker team then responded to these questions during the forum, tailoring their explanations to each grade level. In the Senior Middle 3 session, Ms. Lim Wee Mei introduced the concept of the “body traffic light” to help students recognize personal comfort levels and boundaries. In the Senior Middle 3 session, Dr. Chua Yee Chii encouraged students to speak up and protect themselves, emphasizing, “If something happens, it doesn’t mean you did something wrong.”
It is worth noting that approximately 1,600 students from the main campus of Foon Yew High School attended the seminar. Through this event, students gained a clearer understanding of what constitutes sexual harassment and how to respond to it, while also deepening their awareness of gender respect and self-protection. Additionally, both Southern University College and Foon Yew High School have pledged to continue promoting related education to foster a safer and more inclusive learning environment.
有鉴于近期报章与媒体对于校园性骚扰事件频密的发生，南方大学学院联合全球宽柔校友会及宽柔中学校本部举办了一场为期两天名为《我有力量说不：认识性骚扰》的校园性平教育座谈会。
此次活动的座谈会主讲人包括：
· 林慧梅老师（南方大学学院学生事务处辅导老师）
· 蔡瑜绮博士（南方大学学院心理与辅导学系助理教授）
· 许良琴校友（全球宽柔校友、执业律师）
活动主持人分别由南方大学学院 EMBA讲师蒋丽芳博士（高二场）与南方大学学院心理与辅导学系助理教授陈心坚博士（高三场）担任。
为贴近学生需求，座谈会前新山宽柔中学生活与辅导处也透过线上问卷收集学生对性骚扰议题的疑问，并由讲师团队在座谈会当天根据不同年级的提问逐个回应与讲解。在高二场讲座中，林慧梅老师以“身体的红绿灯”为例，教导学生辨别肢体接触的舒适与界限；高三场讲座中，蔡瑜绮博士鼓励学生勇于发声、保护自己，并强调：“事情发生了，并不是你做错了什么。”
值得一提的是，此次座谈会宽柔中学校本部安排了大约一千六百位同学前来聆听。 透过此次讲座，学生不仅更清楚性骚扰的界定与应对方式，也深化了对性别尊重与自我保护的认识。另外，不论是南方大学学院或新山宽柔中学都承诺将持续推动相关教育，营造更加安全与友善的学习环境。
