WHY WE ARE MAKING THIS FILM
With 22% of Australian women and 6.1% of men experiencing sexual violence, we know this conversation is crucial.
We want to break the silence surrounding sexual assault for victim-survivors to restore their agency and move forward into a space of more empowerment.
We will challenge harmful myths, promote consent and healthy sexual interactions and create a future where everyone feels safe in their relationships and their sexuality.
We aim to build communities that amplify your stories, dismantle shame, and advocate for healing from the ground up.
