Tuning in to @YACVic#ReshapeOurFuture conference! The future for #MentalHealth - "Young people want to hear from young people" 💯
We need to provide more platforms and spaces for youth to share our stories and lived experiences of mental health with our peers. ❤️
Julia Coscolluela shares her experience accessing services when she was a newly arrived, temporary resident in Australia.
"I was too scared to access help as I thought the government would find out and it would affect our ability to stay here," shared @juli_frutti.
Home is where you can confidently say "I belong here. This is my space." Everyone deserves to have a place to call their own. What does #home mean to you? #YCBF#YHMD2021#YHMD#youth#Australia
Young people represent 24% of the homeless population in so-called australia.
Youth Homelessness Matters Day aim is to raise awareness so that we can all better support the needs of young people.

A bizarre, unhelpful, confusing and probably expensive way to "educate" young people about #consent and healthy #relationships.
Who are these videos meant to be for? I can't think of a single person who would take away anything valuable from watching. 😬
The expensive 'Good Society' videos, courtesy of the Federal Government for the Respect Matters campaign have entirely missed the mark. Consult with experts and work with young people especially when creating content - they are the experts in their own lives. #milkshakevideo
what if we asked boys to think about consent without using object metaphors and instead to think about girls and women as people? not milkshakes, not cups of tea, not unlocked cars, just like, people
Most "impulsive but productive" thing I have done this month (so far): ordered a $65 composter. At 1AM. On a Friday night. YOU'RE WELCOME, FUTURE SELF! #compost#adulting#environment
March 15 was the 1st Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Women's Day & the day an unprecedented number of people marched for justice across the country. Thanks to Y members for sending footage & our siblings at @YWCACanberra for solidarity #March4Justice

Today was super dreary 🌧️ but I've just found a cool article by @UN_Women | https://t.co/Fg5LGGLuUX
It's inspiring to read about so many women (esp young women) stepping up and leading the way to a brighter future! 😍 #FeministLeadership
Just thinking about the time a Royal Mail worker sold my mail redirection address to my rapist so he could find me again.
Royal Mail ‘investigated’ and their staff member eventually admitted it and was given... wait for it... a written warning
He’s a manager there now.
Anti-Asian racism isn’t un-American—it’s quintessentially American. You can’t kill millions of Asians across the Pacific for a whole ass century in the name of America and then out of nowhere say that anti-Asian racism is un-American. That’s just lying.
I'm the 342nd person to sign @worldywca's global pledge for gender equality (including women's and LGBTIQ rights). If you also believe in a future where EVERYONE is equal, be the 343rd! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

I'm one of that 88%! 🥰
It was lovely to be gathered in an online space with other like-minded feminists across Australia. So keen for what's to come!
#CSW#CSW65#TheFutureIsIntersectional
So excited to bring our 75 (88% young women!) strong delegation together tonight for a very different #CSW... watch this space for The Future is Intersectional ...
We can't believe we have to say this, but believe sexual assault survivors. If you or someone you know is impacted, in particular with sexual assault being discussed in the public domain please reach out to @1800RESPECT. #StopSilencingSurvivors#auspol#NoExcuse#YCBF
Senior Manager of Advocacy @BobbieTrower & CBF members have collaborated on an article on solidarity with survivors, the under-reporting of sexual assault and how we can work together for real change. Thank you to all who shared their stories. https://t.co/fr8DHBamo2
