It can be difficult to know where to start, though. Check out this resource that Minus18 & LUSH Australia put together... https://res.cloudinary.com//au_a6_ally-booklet-digital_mmu See more

22.01.2022 What is gender equality? Gender equality: Is the outcome reached through addressing gender inequities. Gender equality does not result from erasing gender difference, it occurs when people’s rights, responsibilities, and opportunities are upheld and are not dependent on their gender or the sex they were assigned at birth. #repectis #respectwomen #callitout #16daysofactivism

13.01.2022 Well, it's official. Doomscrolling is definitely a thing as Macquarie Dictionary's Word of the Year! So... why can't we help scrolling, even when it's terrible ...news? Content that makes you feel anxious makes your brain VERY curious. Your brain might see it as a threat that could happen to you, and wants to understand it from every angle to help you be prepared. Thanks brain! You're not alone if you just can't look away. Plus, social media is pretty addictive stuff, because it's designed to be that way.

08.01.2022 What is Violence Against Women? Violence against women is any act of gender-based violence that causes or could cause physical, sexual, psychological or financial harm or suffering to women. This includes threat of harm or coercion and can occur in public or in private life. While violence against women often occurs in a family or relationship context, violence against women is broader than what is covered by the term family violence as it includes, for example, harassment at work or sexual assault by a stranger, colleague or acquaintance. ?

05.01.2022 How you can help: AWARENESS: This is the "what". Help your person look at their feelings and emotions with a flashlight. Ask simple questions to help your client get clear on WHAT they are feeling. You could try asking, "What are you feeling right now?" and "What else?" You can also go a little deeper and ask, "So, what is it like for you to feel like that?" ACKNOWLEDGE: This is about acknowledging what they're feeling witnesses their pain so they feel both validated and sup...ported. Try something like, "That sounds hard/painful/difficult for you." Also, a great way to get people out of thinking and into the experience is to ask, "Where in your body do you feel that?" and "What is that like?" ALLOW: The simplest, but hardest step. Feelings can be painful and are often irrational - and we know it! So of course people try to avoid feeling them. But it's the very avoidance of feeling (what we already feel!) that keeps them stuck. Helping them allow their feelings is as simple as sitting there with them - and doing nothing. Try saying, "It takes a lot of courage to do this - how about we just sit with that for a moment?" Then literally sit with them while they experience it. You'll need to use YOUR gut-feelings to decide when to move on - maybe noticing a shift in their body language, position or energy. To wrap-up you can ask them "How was the experience for you? And how do you feel now?" Hopefully they will feel a little lighter and be able to take their next steps from a place of authenticity and strength - instead of fear and avoidance! #respectis #respectwomen #callitout #16daysofactivism

05.01.2022 Did you know: Gender-based violence describes violence rooted in gender-based power, inequality and discrimination. Gender-based violence causes or can cause physical, sexual, psychological or financial harm. It can occur in the home, at work, online or in public. People of all genders can experience gender-based violence, including transgender and/or non-binary people. Gender-based violence is sometimes used interchangeably with ‘violence against women’ because of the disproportionate number of women and girls who experience violence #16daysofactivism #respectwomen #callitout
