What's new at Gippsland CASA

In the current discourse about gender, and human rights more broadly, we often hear of ‘equity’ and ‘equality’; two words frequently seen as synonymous, and used interchangeably. This is problematic; as there is a very real difference.

Orange Round is a Gippsland wide initiative to encourage community sporting clubs to take a stand and help raise awareness about the incidence and impacts of sexual assault, family violence and violence against women and children in our community.

Join us April 29th 2020 to take a stand against sexual violence

I am a comedian. I have no business whatsoever talking to you about sexual assault. However, a strange thing happened to me over a decade ago – the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne asked me to help them with their sex-ed program for teens. They said it wasn’t working because it was a bit too… boring. I worked with them to take the health messages and jazz them up with some jokes, songs and other stuff. The kids lapped it up.

Gippsland Centre against Sexual Assault supports the Gender Equity Victoria pledge to supporting a vision for equality, wellbeing and freedom from violence for every woman and girl in every community, ahead of the 2018 State Election.
