#37 Chanel Contos

Happy International Women’s Day! Today’s guest is a young woman who has made a huge impact. Last year Chanel Contos ran a survey on social media asking her friends how many friends had experienced some sort of sexual assault. And the results were shocking. She knew something needed to change.Over the last year she has advocated for schools to teach consent from a younger age, and make sure all students are better educated in this area. Just a day before launching this podcast the Australian Federal Government announced 8.51 Million dollars of funding to her project, Teach Us Consent. And now every school in Australia will be required to teach consent to students aged 11-16 thanks to Chanel’s advocacy and tireless work!The impact Chanel has had and will continue to have is nothing short of amazing, she inspires me so much and I learnt a lot in this chat. I couldn’t think of a better human to have on for IWD.Share this episode around as the messages inside need to be heard by all! Educate yourself and your friends for us to all improve and be Good Humans.Chanel’s Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/chanelchttps://www.instagram.com/teachusconsenthttps://www.teachusconsent.com/Wellbeing Network 2022.
