In May 2011 Aberdeen University Students' Association passed policy to become zero tolerance to sexual harassment.

The policy states: "We believe that the following behaviours are unacceptable
• Unwelcome sexual invitations/innuendoes/offensive gestures;
• Unwelcome or unwanted touching of your body;
• Having your clothes lifted without consent.

We believe that pubs and clubs in the city of Aberdeen should adopt a zero tolerance to sexual harassment stance, train staff in supporting victims and dealing with perpetrators and to actively promote their commitment to zero tolerance.
