Event Description
- Full Description:
- More than raising awareness, this event is about inspiring action in pursuit of the important work that we do to address challenges our community faces in initiating respectful intimate interactions and maintaining safe relationships, free from violence and abuse.
Join us in discussion with Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, who has spent the last 10 years turning her trauma into advocacy, campaigning for survivors of child sexual assault and as a leader of positive change. Her focus is around enabling survivors to tell their stories without shame, educating the public around the process and lasting effects of grooming and working with policy and decision-makers to ensure we have systems that supports the survivors, not just the perpetrators.
Following this keynote presentation, we have a diverse panel of internal and external community members to discuss some actionable insights and steps we can start taking today to make a real change - however big or small.
You can submit your questions for Grace, or the panel, via the event registration.
