Sex education should start as early as primary school:
-respecting boundaries
-privacy & consent before touching
-appropriate and inappropriate touch.
-who to turn to if they need to talk
- un/healthy relationships

& whilst prevention work is great what about offenders ? Perpetrators of sexual violence need to be held accountable.
We need to actively work to change a culture that has, for too long, enabled offenders and silenced survivors.

We must address factors at all levels: individual/community/legislation/ societal etc.
Mobilise men & boys as allies.
We must continue to challenge the notion that sexual violence is a victims fault. Sexual violence is about control & power over another individual.
