Labia Library

Women's Health Victoria has developed The Labia Library to bust a few common myths about how normal labia look. There's also a photo gallery that shows you just how unique everyone's labia are.

This is a great discussion starter to unpack the pressures of body image.

Description: Whilst Anna is preparing for a first date with Henry, a man she has secretly loved for years, everything goes wrong until she discovers the impossible - to sculpt her appearance like clay to any shape she desires.

This video is a great way to critique gender and power within media.

The VIA Survey of Character Strengths is a simple self-assessment that takes less than 15 minutes and provides a wealth of information to help young people understand core characteristics. 

Originally produced by the ABC, this 9-minute video discusses research that finds children commit between 40 and 90 per cent of sexual offences against children, with experts saying it is increasing but teachers and social workers aren't trained to deal with it and a culture of denial conceals those at risk. And a warning that this story is confronting.

A resource for young people, parents and practitioners to begin conversations about inappropriate online content.

How should we talk about sexuality, what is the difference between sex and gender... and between sexual orientation and sexual behavior? Here's one perspective.

Taking, making, sharing and possessing indecent images and pseudo-photographs of people under 18 is illegal. Help young people to understand the terms, and utilise the short videos to generate the short videos to generation discussion. 

ThinkUKnow provides lots of information for parents and kids, including:

• What we SEE online
• What we SAY online
• What we DO online
• Protecting yourself from online abuse

Understanding and using the language/terminology associated with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender diverse, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) communities helps to ensure that services and organisations are inclusive and respectful. This resource sheet provides a glossary of terms for practitioners and service providers to help them to better understand the terminology and to use inclusive language in service provision.
