About Teach Us Consent Global
Teach Us Consent is a registered Australian charity organisation committed to pioneering innovative consent education to foster healthy relationships and reduce sexual violence among young people.
Founded in 2021 by Chanel Contos as a campaign for the Australian Government to mandate earlier and holistic consent education in Australian schools, the organisation is now focused on eradicating rape culture globally by centring consent, empathy and respect in sex education.
Teach Us Consent is a youth-led organisation that focuses on preventing normalised sexual violence. Incidents of sexual violence are experienced at scale around the world, but we believe through education we can drive the cultural shift needed to bring change to this space.
Teach Us Consent has recently launched a newsletter in the US to bring our nuanced, culturally-relevant consent and relationships education to a new audience. Sign up and find previous issues here: https://www.teachusconsent.com/newsletter
