Check out The Line at www.theline.org.au or on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.
The Line has 20+ resources and activities for educators and practitioners on topics such as masculinity, pornography, gender, power and priviledge, sexting and more.
The Educator and practitioner resources are underpinned by evidence from Change the story: a shared framework for the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia. Change the story brings together the international and domestic research, and nationwide experience, on what works to prevent violence against women and their children. It shows us that violence against women begins with gender inequality, disrespect towards women and girls, and sexist attitudes.
While the educator and practitioner resources may be useful for teachers and schools, they have not been specifically designed with this setting in mind. Teachers and school staff are advised to use their professional judgement when drawing from the resources.
This paper summarises research to identify implications and opportunities for an effective response to pornography’s influence on young people.
