Gender-Based Violence – How to Talk to Young People
As you may be aware there is a lot of discourse on gender-based violence happening nationally at the moment. We know that young people are curious especially when posts and articles have been circulating around social media which can bring up a lot of questions and curiosities. Please see below a few resources that may be helpful in having these conversations with your children.
The Conversation recently published this really important article which shares insights and tips on how to talk to young people about gendered violence. Dr Jacqueline Hendriks, the Project Lead of the Curtin University Relationships and Sexuality Education Project, shares information on how to model good behaviour and it includes some really great resources for parents/carers.
Within the article, there is also a list of links including a free Federal Government resource called The Conversation Guide, which aims to help parents/carers in their conversations regarding gender inequality and respect for women.
