Jane Kanizay is an adventurer, educator, activist, speaker, artist and mother of four who on 14 May 2022 successfully climbed Mt. Everest with her 19-year-old daughter. Jane enjoys sharing the highs and lows of her Everest experience and the journey of resilience required to take on such an immense challenge as a survivor. Jane climbed with the message of @teachusconsent to campaign for holistic consent education in school education curriculum and to advocate for the prevention of violence against women. To have a message to take to the summit provided additional strength on the days Jane had reached her physical or emotional limits. High altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the world. Jane successfully summited mountains above 6000m plus an 8000m summit of Cho Oyu, Tibet, to prepare her for the extreme environment of Everest, considered to be in the ‘death zone' above 8000m where oxygen content is only 34% compared with sea level. Listening to Jane on the Tough Girl Podcast offers a rare insight into the mental and physical fortitude it takes to summit Everest, but also the deeper purpose behind her journey.  Through her incredible story, Jane not only inspires adventurers but also advocates for change, sharing how carrying a message of consent and empowerment gave her the strength to push through her limits.  Her story will resonate with anyone looking to overcome challenges, build resilience, and find purpose in their own lives.   Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Jane Kanizay went from financial freedom to divorce to financial freedom again while achieving amazing physical feats along the way. Jane is an adventurer, educator, activist, speaker, artist, and ​mother of four who successfully climbed Mt. Everest ​with her 19-year-old daughter on May 14th, 2022. Jane climbs with the message of Teach Us Consent to campaign for ​holistic consent education in the school curriculum and to ​advocate for the prevention of violence against women. This mission helps push her to her physical and mental limits. High-altitude mountaineering is one of the deadliest sports in the ​world. It's also very expensive and hard to imagine being possible for most teachers. That's where Jane's background in real estate shines. She built a portfolio that is now funding her amazing adventures. She also gives us an in-depth breakdown of the financial abuse she tries to educate on and advocate against. Some signs of this abuse from a partner might include: Controls access to finances, won't let you access bank accounts or credit cards Expects you to pay for bills, groceries, and other basic necessities but gives you little or no money to cover those costs Forbids you from working or deliberately sabotages your ability to get or hold down a job Refuses to work or contribute to family expenses Takes out loans or accrues debt in your name Doesn't include you in significant investment or banking decisions Refuses to pay or evades child support Hides assets Incurs fines or infringements in your name then expects you to pay them Jane's story is so inspirational and we hope that she helps you get out of your comfort zone and achieve the seemingly impossible.

This is not compulsory listening, but then again, it kind of is. We're back to have another imperfect conversation about men, violence and consent, because we're still imperfect and we believe reflecting on behaviour is key to changing it.  We don't have all the answers, but in collaboration with Teach Us Consent and future OAM Chanel Contos, we've come up with some new Vulnerabilitea House questions to help anyone get vulnerable and think deeply about these issues.  In all honesty, we're pretty nervous about answering them, but reflecting and getting vulnerable with ourselves and others is how we do better and become the people we want to be. You can find the questions on our instagram: https://bit.ly/4dnfjvO Vulnerability is the willingness to be seen as our authentic selves, even when we don't know how others will respond. To be vulnerable is to take an emotional risk and while it does promote connection, it can also cause distress and should never be forced. So take care of yourself and others while answering these questions. Always vulnerable responsibly.  To watch this full episode on YouTube, follow this link - https://bit.ly/4fx8lWP 

Last season we met Chanel Contos from Teach Us Consent and we were completely blown away by her courage and the work she's taking on. So much so, that within minutes of Hugh opening and reading Chanel's book, “Consent Laid Bare”, he had nominated her for Australian of The Year.  In this snippet from the full episode, Hugh, Ryan, Josh and Chanel discuss the normalised and systemic nature of sexual violence against women and the pervasive issue of rape culture; including what it is and how we can all take steps to dismantle it. To learn more about Chanel, her work and the Teach Us Consent campaign, follow this link: https://bit.ly/3QVhlK0

How do we build from shared experiences to address past injustices and create national change for future generations? In this episode, founder of Teach Us Consent and author of Consent Laid Bare Chanel Contos explores her work, its effect on the Australian curriculum, and the human impact of her work. Please be aware that the conversation contains stories of sexual assault, sexual violence, and rape.

Valentine's Day for most usually means overpriced chocolates, flowers, presents (and maybe even sex). But Chanel Contos says it's also a particularly good time to talk about consent, and how to keep it front and centre in our intimate relationships.  The pressure surrounding Valentine's Day can be overwhelming, with partners seeking consent often forgotten about or assumed. Is there a larger conversation needed about how we view and educate others about consent as a society? In this episode of The Briefing, Bension Siebert speaks with Chanel Contos from Teach Us Consent to learn more about consent and her partnership with the condom brand, Lifestyle, to help share the message of consent this Valentine's Day.

Videos of emotional protesters outside a private all-boys school in Sydney have gone viral, with some former students of Newington College opposing the school welcoming female enrolment. The topic of single-sex schooling is familiar to Chanel Contos – a consent advocate who has for years accused private boys schools of fostering a dangerous and toxic culture.  Today, founder of Teach Us Consent and author of Consent Laid Bare, Chanel Contos, on the argument against all-boys schools and the structures of power and privilege they uphold.  Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and Instagram Guest: Founder of Teach Us Consent and author of Consent Laid Bare, Chanel Contos

Chanel Contos is the founder of Teach Us Consent - an organisation which has campaigned for providing holistic consent and sexuality education since February 2021. Following their petition, which gained more than 44 thousand signatures of support, Ministers of Education from around Australia in February 2022 unanimously committed to mandating holistic and age appropriate consent education in every school from foundation until year 10.. which came into effect at the beginning of 2023. SBS Audio's Catriona Stirrat spoke to Chanel about how she feels the first year of the curriculum implementation has been received by students, teachers, parents and the wider community

Dear Men,Please listen to this episode about consent and rape culture. Hugh, Ryan & Josh xOn the face of it, this Academy of Imperfection with Chanel Contos may seem like a heavy episode. An episode about consent, rape culture and sexual violence might not seem like an episode that concerns you. That may be true, but if the #MeToo movement taught us anything, it's that you probably know someone who's either been raped or sexually assaulted in some way.

My guest today was the catalyst for fundamentally changing how consent education works in Australia.In 2021 Chanel posted on Instagram:“Have you or a close friend been sexually assaulted by someone who went to an all-boys school in Sydney?”Within 24 hours, 204 People had responded “yes” to the question, and then she had her first ever live TV interview 72 hours later.Over that weekend her friend started a website for Chanel, where she collected 6000 testimonies during the first three weeks.She started a petition demanding consent classes and 45,000 signatures later and exactly a year from the date she first posted on Instagram – after a lot of meetings and phone calls – the nine education ministers in Australia unanimously agreed and then publicly announced that they would mandate consent education.Chanel Contos is a force of nature.A fierce advocate for consent education and the brilliant brain behind the Teach Us Consent campaign.She's been instrumental in raising awareness about sexual assault and consent in Australia.Today we discuss the challenges of navigating relationships in the dating app era and explore the disturbing influence of pornography on our understanding of consent.Chanel highlights the need to extend empathy beyond our immediate circles, teaching both young men and women how they can prioritize their own desires – but most importantly, saying no when it matters most.Chanel has some valuable lessons to impart – not just about preventing sexual violence but also around creating a culture of respect and understanding.She strongly believes that showing young men that healthy, consensual relationships are something they should aspire to can ultimately help change the world.Her book, “Consent Laid Bare” is absolutely stunning.It's out right now.Thanks to our sponsor Canstar - find out more about the Canstar app at https://onelink.to/canstar-btyTickets to upcoming Melbourne live shows available here: https://www.malthousetheatre.com.au/tickets/malthouse-outdoor-stage/osher-gunsberg-better-than-yesterday/Got suggestions for Better Than Yesterday?

And, if you ever need it, call the Lifeline hotline on 13 11 14. Chanel Contos became a household name in 2021 after beginning an Instagram poll asking for Australian girls and women's stories of sexual assault.

Her first book, Consent Laid Bare, explores sex, consent and the education we all should have had.  You can buy Consent Laid Bare here (or from all good book retailers) and follow Chanel at @chanelc and @teachusconsent.  Katie Zhou created our fab cover art and India Raine is our wonderful editor and composer of our jingle.

This episode comes with a content warning. This conversation with Chanel Contos contains descriptions of sexual violence, assault and we talk about sexual acts. Parts of this conversation may be distressing for some listeners. The statistics Chanel shares are confronting which is why she has made it her mission to drive a conversation and impact policy change in this country about consent education. We can't talk about consent without talking about what consent is not. I'm really proud of this conversation and believe it's important to sit in the uncomfortable and the hard. But please be aware that discretion is advised before you choose to listen. And if this episode brings up anything for you please reach out to organisations like LifeLife on 13 11 14 Chanel Contos founded Teach Us Consent, a campaign that mandated consent education in Australia. In order to achieve this, she worked closely with politicians from across the political spectrum, including prime ministers. Chanel was the recipient of the Australian Human Rights Commission Young People's Medal in 2021, and in 2023 she was named NSW Young Woman of the Year for her persistent efforts towards eradicating rape culture. Chanel has also been presented with the prestigious Diana Award for her humanitarian work, and in 2022 she was listed as one of the BBC's 100 inspiring and influential women worldwide. Chanel has a Masters in Education, Gender and International Development from University College London and was recently appointed by Julia Gillard to chair the Global Institute for Women's Leadership's. She shares her message in her latest book ‘Consent Laid Bare' - riding the gap between policy makers and the experiences of young people. Calling for greater awareness, education and at its core - empathy - in sharing what is healthy intimacy. Consent is complex - particularly in a society where messages are mixed at best, toxic at worst. Chanel's book is a battle cry from a generation no longer prepared to stay silent. She is a powerhouse on a mission. This is an important conversation for those who care about youth and the generations to come.

Chanel Contos has sparked an international movement that has led to mandating consent education in every school across Australia. The 24-year-old founded Teach Us Consent, a petition for consent to be included in Australian schools' sex education. Chanel is on the BBC's list of 100 influential and inspiring women of 2022, and her book on consent will be coming out later this year. I was honored to have her on the show this month.

The Australian curriculum is continuously contested and countless interest groups want to add new things in. So it's a big win for the ‘Teach Us Consent' campaign to have consent education added to the curriculum from 2023. In this episode, we speak to the founder of the campaign, Chanel Contos, who collected thousands of signatures and testimonials from school students who had experienced sexual harrassment or assault while at school. How has consent been taught at school and why is it so important to teach consent earlier and in a more comprehensive way. And what are students and young people calling for? We'll hear from university students who keenly remember their sex education classes, and former Dolly Doctor, Dr Melissa Kang, who has recently co-authored a book for children and parents called ‘Welcome to Consent'. *Trigger warning: This episode talks about sexual assault and sexual violence and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

She knew something needed to change.Over the last year she has advocated for schools to teach consent from a younger age, and make sure all students are better educated in this area. Just a day before launching this podcast the Australian Federal Government announced 8.51 Million dollars of funding to her project, Teach Us Consent. And now every school in Australia will be required to teach consent to students aged 11-16 thanks to Chanel's advocacy and tireless work!The impact Chanel has had and will continue to have is nothing short of amazing, she inspires me so much and I learnt a lot in this chat. I couldn't think of a better human to have on for IWD.Share this episode around as the messages inside need to be heard by all!

Trigger warning: Consent and sexual abuse  EPISODE 6  This week I got deep talking with my two friends Ella and Belle. With the help of Flex Mami's REFLEX card games, we discussed some important topics in our lives and BOY did we have a good chat. However, this week's ep comes with a trigger warning as we delved into a discussion about consent and touched on sexual abuse and non-consensual relationships. We spoke about the poor sex education programs in our Victorian schools as well as touched on how to recognise positive and negative friendships, especially during a pandemic.  Please note, the answers to these questions are all uniquely our own thoughts and opinions and are not intended to disrespect anyone in any way. This is a really important conversation to us all and we hope we have answered these questions with sensitivity and respect.  If you want to send in your comments or feedback or even let us know your answers to the questions asked, We would love to hear from you!

Hiiiii Peaches!Welcome back to episode 3! We are so excited to have Chanel Contos on this weeks episode. Chanel is taking social media by storm with her recent “teach us consent petition” that is advocating for holistic sexuality education earlier in the school curriculum. She set up the Teach Us Consent website, which houses more than 6200 testimonies of sexual assault, ranging from groping to traumatic instances of rape, and her petition has had more than 41,000 signatures. She is also currently living in London, completing her Masters in gender and education at the University College of London. We had the wonderful opportunity to chat with her on this week's episode of Preach the Peach. We felt so connected to her, not only for the revolutionary work she is doing but also because she is also just a 23/24 year old girl trying to make an impact.

Content warning: this episode discusses child sexual abuse.Chanel Contos is educated, articulate and determined, and I am so inspired and proud her courage and success in creating a national movement, “Teach Us Consent” at only 23 years old. Chanel was sexually assaulted at 13 years old. She didn't realise what her perpetrator did constituted a sexual assault until later in life.Chanel is demanding change from the Australian Government. Demanding they improve sexual education to cover toxic masculinity, enthusiastic consent, rape culture, slut shaming and queer sex education.We discuss school yard culture, how girls are sexualised at a young age, and how, as parents, we need to raise our boys and girls moving forward.Watch the governments consent videos here.Follow Chanel on IG @chanelc.This episode discusses sexual assault and child sexual assault.

Rape prevention campaigners have slammed the Morrison government's “confusing” new consent education campaign for schools featuring bizarre videos of a woman smearing a man's face with a milkshake.Warning the videos fail to meet the National Standards for the prevention of sexual assault through education, advocates say expert revision of all of the current content is needed to ensure it actually works, and isn't harmful.The consent videos include “examples” of a woman being concerned about swimming in a beach because of sharks and a man with a spear gun trying to convince her to get in the water, and in another using an example of a man eating a tacos to explain sexual assault.Fair Agenda and End Rape on Campus Australia's Karen Willis told news.com.au the government's newly released school resources are concerning and confusing.“Young people are more sophisticated than this content gives them credit for. And sex and consent is far more complicated than videos about milkshakes and sharks at the beach,” Ms Willis, a prevention educator with 30 years experience, said.“These resources fall well short of the national standards, and what experts know is needed to actually change behaviours and prevent abuse.”End Rape on Campus founder, Sharna Bremner, said another major concern was the videos might re-traumatise rape survivors in the classroom.“We know that in classrooms of senior students, there will be many who have already experienced rape,” she said.“This resource fails to properly consider there may be a survivor in the classroom, and even includes inaccurate and inadequate information on avenues for support and reporting.” .The resources were launched by Education Minister Alan Tudge last month and followed Brittany Higgins's allegation of a rape at Parliament House and the national outcry that followed.Former Sydney school student Chanel Contos, 22, has also launched a petition called Teach Us Consent, calling for earlier and improved sex education.Fair Agenda and End Rape on Campus Australia are calling for the government to engage violence prevention experts to replace the site's modules on consent and to review all content to ensure it meets the National Standards — including challenging the gender stereotypes that help enable gender-based violence.Ms Bremner said: “Young people want and deserve training that practically and explicitly helps them understand how to ethically navigate relationships, and to recognise — and feel armed to challenge — unacceptable or coercive behaviour. As well as how to navigate non-verbal cues. It's clear these resources weren't written by people with expertise in violence prevention.”Advocates say there are multiple issues with the Good Society site's content, including:A bizarre ‘Yes No I Don't Know' video about going into water with sharksOften, instead of directly addressing the kind of behaviours a student is actually likely to be trying to navigate, the site provides confusing videos, including about milkshakes and tacos.Includes concerning messages like ‘sexual desire can really distort our thinking'Provides incorrect and inadequate information about abuse.“We need to actively challenge the notion that sex is about men pursuing women and persisting until they relent. We need to set an expectation that everyone should be seeking affirmative, enthusiastic and informed consent, and arming young people to understand consent is not just a once-off yes/no conversation. It needs to be present the whole time,” Ms Bremner said.Renee Carr, executive director of Fair Agenda, said despite the Morrison Government's claim the program has been developed in conjunction with Our Watch and the Foundation for Young Australians, this was not the case.Ms Carr said Our Watch did not help develop these resources.Along with other organisations Our Watch was engaged to consult on a confidential basis and she said was unable to share the advice they provided to the department on...
