A Victorian teen is campaigning for improved sexual education in schools.
Stephanie Liow, year 12 student, was prompted by the general conversation around consent this year to reflect and take action.
She has petitioned to her state parliament for compulsory holistic sex education in the school curriculum, and this petition was endorsed by leader of the Victorian Greens, Samantha Ratnam.
Miss Liow says, “fighting for better sex education and support for survivors almost feels like a necessity, because I feel I and most of my peers have been failed and I do not want to see younger students go through the exact same thing.”
