The STOP Campaign

The Stop Campaign is a grassroots student-led campaign tackling sexual violence at Australian universities, through empowerment and education. Our vision is to create and sustain positive social and cultural change, by igniting conversations and breaking down stigmas surrounding all aspects of sex and sexual violence. We value intersectional and inclusive discourse, attempting to connect with all members of the community through educational, visual and respectful communication. Our campaign will continue to be student-led, as we believe this allows us to be able to reach the university community at a more personal level than other organisations. This helps us to encourage and build collective behavioural change, which will lead to positive social change. As people enter and exit university environments, we aim to have a long-lasting positive impact on their lives. The campaign strives to create and grow networks to spark courage and determination, ultimately building a community of change-makers. We believe that the influence conversations have surrounding respect, sexual violence, and sex more generally, fosters and encourages respectful relationships throughout one’s life course.
