澳洲試圖從學校開始製止針對婦女的暴力行為“流行病”

Australia is facing a national crisis of violence against women, and the government is taking steps to address it, starting with schools. The Love Bites program, delivered by the national charity Napcan, is engaging Australian teenagers in important conversations about respectful relationships and the impact of violence and abuse culture. The recent high-profile stabbing murders at Sydney's Bondi Junction shopping center have brought the issue into sharper focus, prompting tens of thousands of people to call for gendered violence to be declared a national emergency. The program aims to educate young people about recognizing signs of respect and consent, as well as addressing issues like stalking, harassment, and the sharing of intimate images, which can lead to domestic violence offenses. It also seeks to empower young people to recognize and address these issues in their communities and relationships. The Australian government is under pressure to take action, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calling for change across all of society. The program is part of a collaborative approach to make generational and societal change, with the goal of creating a culture of respect and equality.
