Together, we’re building a culture of consent

We believe in a world free from sexual violence. To get there, we're putting consent, respect and empathy at the heart of sex education.

Get confident with consent.

We asked thousands of young Australians what they really want to know about sex and relationships. The answers? All here. Delivered from the voices you trust.

From a single voice to petition signatories, stories of sexual assault shared and millions reached. We challenged the culture that silences survivors. Now, we’re building something better in its place.

In 2021, Teach Us Consent started as a grassroots campaign—and now, it’s a driving force behind consent education reform across Australia and beyond.

(Q)

How did Teach Us Consent begin?

Click to flip

(A)

Teach Us Consent is a youth-led not for profit organisation that advocates for and provides holistic and age-appropriate consent education globally. We were founded in Australia by Chanel Contos in 2021. Chanel collected and published almost 7000 testimonies of sexual assault, and gained ~50,000 signatures on her petition. Teach Us Consent became a successful nation-wide campaign to mandate consent education in the national curriculum. Since turning from a campaign to a company, our mission is to eradicate sexual violence and ensure all people are equipped with the knowledge, language, and confidence to practise consent.

(Q)

Does Teach Us Consent deliver workshops and talks in schools?

While we were founded in Australia with a single mission — to mandate holistic and consent education in the national curriculum — our advocacy and educational work has influenced global change. Through strategic partnerships and a growing team in the UK and USA, our advocacy and education efforts are helping to shape a global movement. Consent and respectful relationships are universal rights — and we’re committed to making them a reality everywhere.

(Q)

Can I still submit my testimony?

Click to flip

(A)

The 7000 testimonies of sexual assault originally submitted to Teach Us Consent were the bedrock of the campaign to mandate consent education. They were voluntarily sent to Teach Us Consent by those who emphatically believe that inadequate consent education was the reason for the sexual abuse they experienced during or soon after school. Individually and collectively, these lived experiences were pivotal in laying bare the breadth and depth of rape culture to policy makers in Australia. We are still receiving anonymous testimonies and will publish them here periodically. Visit our testimonies page to submit yours.

(Q)

Do you take volunteers?
