Summer Series – Understanding Consent with Chanel Contos [webinar]
Our summer podcast series brings you some of the best conversations from our webinars in 2021. This episode we talk to sexual assault activist Chanel Contos, whose petition calling for earlier sex education in schools prompted hundreds of testimonies from former Sydney schoolgirls about sexual assault.
This episode was recorded live on 11 August 2021 and things may have changed since recording.
