Let’s Talk with Emily Readman
Today's episode is with Emily Readman. Em is a writer, artist and consent education advocate from Brisbane, on Yuggara and Turrbal Lands. Their project, Consent Patches, launched in 2020 to start conversations on consent and consent education. So far, she has raised over $1,500 for Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia.
We chat on:
• Em's sex ed experience at high school
• What Em wishes she learnt at school about sex and consent
• Em's perspective on why there is a lack of discussion around consent in school settings
• Why the blame is placed on women or people from the LGBTQIA+ community when it comes to sexual assault, violence or abuse
• What Em would like to see included in education when it comes to consent
• All about Consent Patches and why Em started this project
Em also mentioned the incredible work of the Teach Us Consent team - you can check them out here or on instagram @teachusconsent
