Schools—gender equality
(Question No 2907)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, upon notice, on 14 February 2020 (redirected to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development):
(1) In regard to the ACT response to the Fourth Action Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children, under national priority one, Primary Prevention is Key, it states the Education Directorate supports ACT public schools to create gender equality and respectful behaviour in schools to contribute to the primary prevention of domestic and family violence, why does this not specifically include sexual violence.
(2) How specifically does the Education Directorate support ACT public schools to create gender equality and respectful behaviour.
(3) Is the Minister monitoring how and how many schools are creating gender equality and respectful relationships.
(4) What evidence does the Minister have that any of this work is contributing to the prevention of domestic, family and/or sexual violence.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1) As part of gender equality education, the ACT Education Directorate supports ACT public schools in the delivery of education aimed to address attitudes that condone sexual violence. This includes through promotion of relevant resources that support teachers to address topics such as consent. From the time children enter the school system (preschool) onwards, children learn content about protective behaviours and personal and social capabilities that form the basis of understanding concepts such as respect and consent. The ACT Government is co-contributing funding to two national primary prevention campaigns “Stop it at the Start” and the development of a new sexual violence prevention campaign with the Commonwealth, state and territory governments.
