Replying to @mike_salter
At CASACV we are supporting many schools (primary and secondary) across our region in responding to sexualised and problematic student behaviours - impacting staff and students. The education system needs to support schools to manage and respond to these behaviours as they occur.

"The Victorian Department of Education needed to be better resourced to respond to sexual violence in schools, and the federal government should step up its regulation of social media companies" - @KPMaltzahn

There were 9,537 sexual offences reported in Victoria in 2023 - that's 26 reports a day. To drive down the unacceptable number of sexual offences, we need the Victorian Government to deliver their promised sexual violence strategy urgently. Learn more: zurl.co/yMeN

Today, we're letting MPs know about the level of sexual violence in their LGAs and in Victoria. This data, from @CrimeStatsVic, is just the tip of the iceberg - 9 in 10 women do not report sexual assault to police & many children and men are also afraid to come forward. #SAAM

At the National Centre we aim to ensure the service system better meet needs of victims and survivors of #childsexualabuse at all stages of healing and recovery. To learn how to make change we're funding vital research led by @SASVictoria: rb.gy/i1124v #hereforchange

Today is #ClosetheGapDay. With Aboriginal women 33 times more likely to be hospitalised by family violence than non-Aboriginal women, the gap is too great and more work is needed to prevent violence from happening in the first place.

Today is #CloseTheGap Day, a movement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and equality. Everyone has a role to play in closing the gap – together we can create a future free from violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women!

Great to see our #TheManBox in today's @theage – we're launching new research with @Respect__Vic, the biggest of its kind in Australia, into the pressures Australian men feel to conform to a rigid, harmful template of masculinity. theage.com.au/national/dange…
