What We Do

Since our inception in 2018, The STOP Campaign has successfully implemented a number of projects (most related to the ACT).

These include:

•

the creation of educational materials and resources on topics including safe sex, consent, sexual and family violence, sex positivity and access to medical, legal and personal support,

•

facilitation of peer-led education and advocacy workshops with tertiary students in residential halls and university settings to prevent sexual violence and promote sexual wellbeing,

•

facilitation of programs for young people (particularly victim-survivors) focused on empowerment, confidence and building connections, and

building a platform for victim survivors in Australia to publicly share their experiences and journeys towards healing.

The STOP Campaign has also participated in consultation and resource development on sexual violence policy and response driven by government and non-government bodies both at a local and national level.
