Ending sexual violence and stigmatisation in Australian tertiary learning communities.

Three people with their fists up

We are a grassroots not-for-profit dedicated to empowering young people to create communities that are sex positive and free from sexual violence and stigma. We work in universities and tertiary learning communities primarily in the ACT, but we also have volunteers across Australia!


We are here to have open and honest conversations about sexual violence and wellbeing, to empower victim-survivors of sexual violence, and to encourage young people to build safe and inclusive tertiary learning communities that are free from sexual violence.
