Uncensored U The Sex Ed Podcast, Season 3 Episode 5 Part 2 w/ Gowry Kaliyiluvila Rajesh

This episode continues the conversation with Gowry, focusing on the hands-on prevention and consent education happening on campus. The discussion covers bystander intervention, consent education, healthy relationships, and how student-facing programming is shaped by what students are actually asking and struggling with.Gowry also shares what Reach Day looks like, how first-year students are introduced to safety and support, and why events like Consent Week, Sexual Health Week, and Take Back the Night matter for building a healthier campus culture.

Key topics

• In this episode, Gowry explains Reach Day, a first-year training initiative built around bystander intervention, healthy socializing, and community support.
• She shares that the first eight weeks in post-secondary are a red zone for sexual violence because students are navigating a new environment, new expectations, and new social dynamics.
• The team reached about 900 students across 18 Reach Day sessions, introducing the basics of bystander intervention and campus support options.
• Gowry highlights a common misconception students have, which is that support is only available if they formally report. Part of the work is showing that students can access care without filing a formal report.
• The conversation breaks down the Waves of Change program, including a basic module and an advanced module that explores power, privilege, and scenario-based intervention practice.
• Gowry says student leaders and athletes often do not realize how much influence they have until they work through the advanced training.
• The episode previews Consent Week, including residence outreach, a movie night, Take Back the Night, and Healing Blooms, a reflection and connection event in the Hub.
• Sexual Health Week is also in development, with student educators creating activities that include red flag and green flag conversations around relationships.
• Gowry describes how the Love Me or Love Me Not activity helps students identify relationship behaviors that are healthy, unhealthy, or worth discussing further.
• The discussion closes with advice for students new to relationships: boundary setting is not selfishness, and communicating a disagreement can actually make a relationship healthier.

Key frameworks

• Waves of Change
  • A prevention and education model with a foundational module and a more advanced module focused on power, privilege, and real-world scenarios.
• Bystander intervention
  • Students learn how to notice potential harm, step in safely, and support someone who may be at risk.
• Enthusiastic consent
  • Consent is framed as clear, active yes, with attention to verbal and nonverbal cues, body language, and the ability to stop or change course at any time.

Notable quotes

• "If you want to have like a healthy relationship, you should have a better boundary setting."
• "Pleasure is like an underrated concept."
• "You can still access the support and you can still have that support in health and counseling."

Consent is Sexy w/ special guest Gowry Kaliyiluvila Rajesh

Guest Bio:

Gowry is the Sexual Violence Prevention Education Coordinator at StFX. Much of her work happens alongside students, facilitating bystander intervention training and opening conversations about consent, boundaries, healthy relationships, sexual health, and mental health. She loves what she does and describes herself as a lifelong learner and unlearner.

As an immigrant in Canada, Gowry has learned a great deal from navigating new places, communities, and ways of thinking. She is still learning and unlearning and she shared some of those experiences and reflections on the podcast. One thought she carries into her work is a quote attributed to Maya Angelou: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Show Notes:

Uncensored U, The Sex Ed Podcast sits down with Gowry, the sexual violence prevention education coordinator at StFX University, to talk about what prevention really looks like on a university campus. The conversation focuses on consent, healthy relationships, cultural barriers, and how to make sexual health education more accessible for international students. Aimee and Sean guide the discussion around how students learn, unlearn, and sometimes resist sexual violence prevention messages, especially when language, gender roles, and shame shape what feels “normal.”

• Sexual violence prevention is not only about saying violence is wrong, but also about teaching boundaries, red flags, green flags, healthy communication, and relationship skills before harm happens.
• Gowry describes how moving from India to Canada required unlearning assumptions about sex, sexual health, and what is considered “normal” or respectable in different cultures.
• The conversation highlights language as a major barrier, especially when words like consent and boundaries do not translate cleanly across cultures or are not the terms students use in their own language.
• The episode explores how media shapes understanding, including how romanticized stories in film and culture can normalize chasing, repeated asking, and ignoring boundaries.
• Gowry notes that some students already know consent language but do not understand how it applies in real situations, especially around alcohol, power imbalance, and pressure.
• The discussion also covers gender roles, including expectations that men initiate, women stay quiet or submissive, and non-binary people are often erased from the script entirely.
