A new report from Respect Victoria examines how men in Australia are challenging harmful masculine norms, and what this means for preventing violence against women. Willing, capable and confident: men, masculinities and the prevention of violence against women presents findings from focus group discussions with Australian men, following on from the Man Box 2024 report. It explores how men conform to, navigate or challenge harmful expressions of masculinity.
Teach Us Consent’s Promoting Consent Initiative aims to improve young people’s (aged 16–25) awareness and understanding of consent and healthy sexual relationships through trauma-informed and age-appropriate content.
In addition to consultation with relevant organisations, experts and advisors, a Youth Advisory Group (YAG) will be established to co-design content and centre the voices and experiences of young people.
Teach Us Consent’s Promoting Consent Initiative is seeking nominations for their new Youth Advisory Group (YAG). Members will be financially compensated for their time and expertise and First Nations young people, young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, neurodivergent young people, young people with disability, LGBTIQA+ young people, and young people from rural and remote locations are encouraged to submit.
Nominations are open until 11.59pm on 25 August 2024. Find out more and make a nomination here
