#sexualharassment and #sexualassault with #children :
"The decision to recognise the #MeToo movement is monumental for women everywhere and it provides the perfect platform to speak with your children about sexual harassment.
And not just girls: boys too.
The topic of sexual harassment is a difficult one to talk to children about, but with recent Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showing that sexual assault is on the rise – it's vital.
In 2016, 23,052 victims of sexual assault were recorded in Australia, the highest figure in seven years.
But it's important to note, that these are the ones recorded.
Imagine how many assaults are not reported. Imagine how many women are too frightened and ashamed to tell authorities. Imagine how many women are advised not to take action because it may result in further distress.
Imagine how many men repeatedly abuse and harass women without any repercussion. It's terrifying to imagine. Far too terrifying.
The reality is every woman has a #MeToo moment. Every single woman.
That means it's vital as parents we talk to our children about this issue.
It also means we may be forced at some time to face the reality that our kids may be the perpetrators.
It is a painful truth that we as parents may fail someone else's child by not doing more to educate and act on our kids' actions, no matter how confronting.
We must teach our children that nobody has the right to touch them without their full consent, nobody has the right to leer at them, bully them or make them feel uncomfortable in their own skin.
Nor do you have a right to do any of these things to another person. There are no excuses. There are no free passes. There are no instances that make it acceptable.
Nobody asks for it. Nobody is your property. And if you step over the line, you should be forced to face the consequences, not be protected because "you're a good kid".
We must also teach our children that nobody has the right to get away with it either and speaking up and taking action is an important step in agitating for change. Staying silent, no matter how much kinder it might feel for the victim, will only result in more shame.
We as parents have a responsibility to drive change forward. We as parents have a responsibility to not only protect our children, but also others.
We owe it to all the women who have so bravely come forward with their stories and all of those who are yet to come.
One day, chances are, it will be your child."

"Given that responding to sexual harassment and assault is harder than we think, we need to adjust our expectations for victims. The responsibility to “do something” can’t fall solely on them or even on bystanders. Instead, employers need to build workplace cultures that prevent sexual harassment and assault from happening in the first place. An environment that shows low tolerance reduces some of the barriers to responding and makes it more likely that people will act on their ideals.
This isn’t just a job for human resources. There are some things that everyone has the power to do. We can all be more careful in how we judge victims. We can remind ourselves that responding to sexual harassment and assault is more difficult than we imagine. We can stop assuming we’d have acted differently in someone else’s shoes. Chances are, we wouldn’t have."
