No straight lines
This video, “No straight lines: We all benefit from maps of life’s territories”, highlights how we all benefit from maps of life’s territories. Maps help ground and orient us. Where we can become stuck and overwhelmed, maps can help us find our way. Maps help us to connect, share and draw upon the experience of those who have come before us. Read more about this video and painting.
Get the stats
Statistics are one way we can develop a picture of the extent of child sexual abuse or sexual assault in our community. Get the facts from our Sexual abuse statistics page, aiming to dispel Unhelpful myths about the sexual assault of men.
