Greek Australian Chanel Contos, creator of the petition to have consent and rape culture integrated into sexual education much earlier in the curriculum, has launched a website.
Her movement is growing massively by the day.
There are more than 21,804 signatories. And 4,000+ of sexual assault horror stories.
On the website www.teachusconsent.com, you can sign the petition for sexual education to be taught in schools from a young age, email your old school/ your MP or submit a personal testimony of assault.
“1500 is the amount of testimonies that have been reviewed,” she posted on her Instagram.
Many of the testimonies express the deep shame and trauma the young women have carried with them for a significant period of time before they dared to tell anyone.
Contos’ mission is to overhaul sexual education in schools across the entirety of Australia, and is asking that the curriculum include a varying range of topics such as sexual coercion, victim-blaming, toxic masculinity, slut-shaming, rape culture, female pleasure and queer sex.
All testimonies and signatories will be presented to MPs across the country to advocate for greater sex ed at an earlier age across Australia.
