In the past weeks thousands of testimonies from present and former schoolgirls about sexual assaults by male peers, often in association with alcohol or drugs, have been posted on a website set up by Chanel Contos, who had attended a prominent Sydney girls’ school. These heartbreaking and graphic accounts have reignited calls for education in sexual consent. Leaders of the single-sex schools named on the website have been quick to agree.
Last November the New South Wales parliament received a commissioned report into whether sexual consent laws should be changed. This was prompted by the case of Saxon Mullins, a woman who gave no explicit consent but still lost her appeal to uphold the conviction of her alleged rapist. Ms Mullins was not impressed with the recommendations of the report and together with Dr Rachael Burgin she has founded a group called Rape & Sexual Assault Research & Advocacy.
