Advocacy
Childhood Safety and Empowerment
Age-appropriate consent education can provide young children with the language and understanding needed to advocate for their bodily autonomy and assert boundaries. When children know how to communicate their experiences, they are in a better place to get help.
Domestic and Sexual Violence Prevention
When young people are consistently taught the mechanisms, behaviors, cycles, and psychology of domestic and sexual violence, they are well-equipped to recognise the patterns in their relationships and communities. Terms such as coercive control, love-bombing, grooming, etc. can be more clearly understood and addressed.
Media Literacy and Critical Thought Education
Young people are exposed to an onslaught of misinformation online, where issues of consent, healthy relationships, and sexual health are contested and unclear. Media literacy and critical thought education can help enable young people to identify red flags and dangerous information online.
AI Sexual Violence Awareness
Artificial intelligence software can and is being used to generate non-consensual deepfake pornography, grooming chatbots, and child exploitation material at mass scale. Education can help adults and children alike identify deepfakes, warning signs, and spread awareness to promote corporate and government prevention policy.
