"Australia is once again grappling with how we can stop gendered violence in
our country. Protests over the weekend show there is enormous community anger
over the number of women who are dying and National Cabinet meets on Wednesday
to specifically discuss the issue.
There is no single solution here. We need to look at the whole of our society
when we consider how to make it safer for women.
One huge part of our society is schools, where Australians spend about 13 years
of their lives.
As part of an ongoing, broader study into how online worlds are shaping
students and teaching, colleagues* and I are surveying South Australian
teachers about sexist and other anti-social views among the students.
The survey is ongoing, but our results so far paint a disturbing picture where
female teachers are subjected to sexist and abusive language and behaviour by
male students."
