If we want to eradicate VAWG, we must educate young people about misogynistic beliefs & harmful behaviours. Help them understand what is healthy and what is abusive. Let's put meaningful investment into prevention and talk to our young people now, don't wait for abuse to happen!

[ATSA @ATSA_Official]

When discussing sibling sexual behavior and abuse (SSB/A), pornography is often overlooked. How does explicit content shape young minds? ATSA's latest blog dives into this complex issue, exploring its impact on consent and harmful sexual scripts.
