A former Toronto Metropolitan University student and rape survivor who was allegedly denied entry to an on-campus event for victims of sexual assault because of her anti-abortion beliefs, has reached settlements with both the school and its student union.

Second-year business student Talia Battista filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario after she was denied access to an event for sexual assault survivors in February of 2017, a decision she says was influenced by her pro-life advocacy.
