In February, Australia launched its first National Students Omburdsman as part of a national strategy to tackle sexcual violence on campus. 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. Under the new National Students Ombudsman, what kind of support international students can expect from the agency over sexual violence on campus? In this episode of Weekend One on One, SBS's Wing Kuang talks to Iain Anderson, the Commonwealth Ombudsman of the agency.
