AUSTRALIA - DO TEENS KNOW WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE?
The
Line is a
primary prevention behaviour change campaign for young people aged 12 to 20
years.
The
Line encourages
healthy and respectful relationships by challenging and changing attitudes and
behaviours that support violence.
New
research shows we need to challenge violence supportive attitudes among youth. Read more from

Sometimes, there’s no
argument about where to draw the line in our friendships and relationships. But
the line can get blurry. So, we're here to talk about it.
This website is for young
people. Here, we talk about relationships, gender, sex, bystander action,
technology and communication.
We talk about how to keep
behaviours healthy and respectful, and avoid crossing the line that makes
someone feel frightened, intimidated or diminished.
New research shows we need
to challenge violence supportive attitudes among youth.
