Creative Activism Against the Sexualisation of Children

Bankstown Women's Health Centre is running a free project regarding the premature sexualisation of children.

Creative Activism Against the Sexualisation of Children
Thursdays, 6 Weeks
Starts 12 February
1pm - 2:30pm

Moving at The Speed of Childhood
High heels for infants... g-strings for girls under 10... what's happening to the childhood of the next generation?

Do you think boys and girls nowadays are growing up too fast? Are marketing, consumer culture and commercialisation destroying the innocence of youth? This group aims to address the inappropriate sexualisation of children and teens in our society. Join us at the Centre to sharpen your critical thinking skills, engage in creative protest through art, and find ways to inform and inspire others to take action.

This group is for any women who care about the future of young girls and boys today. Because we are a Women's Health Centre this project is only open to female participants, however if you are a male and you too wish to advocate against the inappropriate sexualisation of children and teens in modern society, please contact us as we would love to find a way to keep you updated and involved. The group runs on Thursdays from 12th February to 19 March from 1pm to 2:30pm.

To register for this project please call Bankstown Women's Health Centre on 9790 1378.
