Why education is key:
We work within the community to reduce the incidence and impact of sexual harm by:
- Increasing awareness about what sexual violence actually is
- Increasing awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault
- Talking openly and providing accurate information to reduce stigma and shame
- Dispelling harmful myths about sexual assault
- Promoting respectful relationships
- Working with allied sectors, such as health and education, to identify individuals or families who may need education or support
- Strengthening families and communities
- Creating awareness within the community about where people can go for help
