<div>A.B. made a report of sexual harassment and sexual assault to the university she attended. The tenured faculty member was ultimately terminated from his employment, although not on the basis of a finding of sexual assault against A.B.. Following a grievance arbitration in which the faculty member withdrew his challenge to the termination, but was awarded damages for breach of his privacy for the institution’s public airing of the investigation and his termination, the faculty member sued A.B. for defamation in reporting sexual assault to the university.

<div><strong>Who I Am</strong>
</div>
<div>I am being sued in defamation by former UBC professor Steven Galloway. 
</div>
<div>I became active in anti-violence work in 2015 after I reported a sexual assault to the Toronto Police. Experiencing the injustices of the way people who experience sexual violence are treated, their concerns minimized thrusted me into wanting systemic change. I was the primary subject in <a href="https://www.slutornut.ca" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Slut or Nut The Diary of a Rape Trial</a> , a documentary film that followed me through the criminal trial. I have been involved or organized a number of fundraisers over the years including raising money for survivors involved in four different legal matters. Finally, I have published a number of academic and non-academic articles about sexual violence and systemic injustice. On March 1, 2024 my book <a href="https://www.ubcpress.ca/suing-for-silence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Suing for Silence Sexual Violence and Defamation</a> was released by UBC Press.
