U've spent time teaching ur young person about ur family's #ethics #values b4 #Schoolies2K19 could b a good time to talk about how these translate 2 #Romantic & #sexualrelationships A gr8 way 2 start is by talking about #healthyrelationships so that every1 can #partywithconsent

[GCCASV @GCCASV]

With just 10 weeks until #Schoolies2K19, now is a great time to start having regular conversations with your young person about Sex & Relationships to make sure everyone is prepared to #PartyWithConsent #schoolies #schooliesgc #startbybelieving #safety #fun #consent #YouGotThis

Being afraid to say no is NOT #consent regardless of your relationship status. People say no in lots of ways... If you're not sure ASK #consent always follows the FRIES principle - Freely Given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, Specific #IPSV #respectmetoo #healthyrelationship

#IPSV is a crime. It is against the law. Any sexual activity without #consent is NOT sex, it is a sex CRIME. Marital rape or #IPSV has been a crime in Qld since 1989. Today it is recognised as a crime in all states and territories of Australia #ittimetotalkaboutIPSV #respectmetoo

What does a #healthyrelationship mean to u? Here's our thoughts - #Repect, good boundaries, wanting the best 4 each other, time apart, making joint decisions, listening, not afraid 2 share ur feelings. Would love 2 hear ur thoughts on this #respectmetoo #itstimetotalkaboutIPSV

[GCCASV @GCCASV]

Being pressured into watching and/or enacting pornography in a relationship is #IPSV. Healthy respectful consensual relationships don't involve pressure, coercion or manipulation #itstimetotalkaboutIPSV #sexualviolence #domesticviolence #respectmetoo #consent #dvpreventionmonth

[GCCASV @GCCASV]

#IPSV can happen at any age. Globally 29% of women 15-19 will expereince violence in their earliest relationships setting an unhealthy platform for future relationships. Australian young women 18-24 experience significantly higher rates of IPSV than older age groups #respectmetoo

If someone trusts you enough to disclose #IPSV or any form of #sexualviolence or #domesticviolence the best way for you to support them is to #startbybelieving Sometimes the best response is to just #listen and #believe survivors #itstimetotalkaboutIPSV #dvpreventionmonth #mygc

[GCCASV @GCCASV]
