Boys already know that sharing someone's intimate images without consent is wrong.

What they told us they didn't have was the words. What to say when it's happening in front of them. How to say something without it costing them.

That's what Upstanders in Action is for.

Over the next 18 months, 40 to 50 boys aged 12 to 18 across four Victorian schools will design the tools themselves. Not as the audience. As the authors.

We're grateful to Our Watch and the Victorian Government for backing it, with $200,000 through the Violence Prevention Innovation Lab's Innovation and Impact Grants Challenge.

Preventing gender-based violence is everyone's responsibility. If we can work with young men and boys to build broader, healthier ideas of masculinity, we help end violence against women.

The Violence Prevention Innovation Lab is designed and led by Our Watch and supported by Minderoo Foundation. This project is supported by the Victorian Government.

New research from eSafety shows that Australian families are doing an incredible job supporting young people online, but it also highlights how quickly digital risks are evolving. As technology shifts, so do the challenges children and teens face, from AI‑generated content to sextortion and image‑based abuse.

At Body Safety Australia, we’re committed to helping families, schools and communities feel equipped, confident and supported as these risks change.

🧩 Image‑Based Abuse: Help‑Seeking Posters
Co‑designed with young people, these posters offer clear steps for responding to unsolicited nudes, pressure to send images, deepfakes, non‑consensual sharing and sextortion.
They emphasise: You are not alone. It is not your fault. Help is available.

As children across Australia settle into school for Term 3, it’s the perfect time to check in about their online experiences and habits.

New eSafety research shows parents and carers of 10–17-year-olds are doing an incredible job supporting their children online, with over 90% already talking about online safety 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👏

But the online world is changing so quickly and some of the biggest emerging risks aren’t being discussed as often. Our research found:
📲 1 in 4 parents talk about how algorithms influence what children see online
🤖 1 in 10 discuss how generative AI can be used and misused
💰 Fewer than 1 in 10 have talked about sextortion.

There isn’t one conversation that prepares children for every online experience. What matters most is creating an environment where they know they can come to a trusted adult if something doesn’t feel right and keeping those check-ins going as they grow.

Whether it’s talking about social media, AI or how and why online content ends up in their feeds, even small, regular chats can make a real difference.

If you’re not sure where to start, eSafety is here to help. Explore our free resources, including webinars, guides, conversation starters and a newsletter to help you navigate today’s online challenges with confidence: eSafety.gov.au/parents

Winter demand for our programs has grown faster than we anticipated, far beyond what our April recruitment round could cover.

On Monday, we hosted the Pathways to Prevention Forum at UCity in Adelaide.

The room came together with such generosity. Prevention educators, sector leaders, community organisations, government, and people who have lived experience of what we are working to prevent. You listened to each other. You asked the hard questions. You stayed in the conversation when it got real.

Thank you for being there.

The photo gallery from the day is now live: https://haphotography42.pixieset.com/pathwaystoprevention/
Shout out to Gavin at Hills to Adelaide Photography for the wonderful photos!

We are putting together a fuller reflection on what the sector shared with us, and we will be sharing that soon.

Every child in mind, no postcode left behind.
