Identifying and responding to the influence of the manosphere in the classroom

An increase in misogynistic rhetoric and language online has resulted in new challenges in classrooms across Australia. The impact of what is known as the 'manosphere' affects children of all genders, even though the primary targets of the content are boys.

Join body safety expert Deanne Carson in this webinar as she discusses prevention and intervention strategies to respond to the needs of children affected by the ‘manosphere’.

About the presenters

Deanne Carson Director, Body Safe Australia

Deanne Carson, is the founder and CEO of Body Safety Australia. 

In 2014, Deanne realised that relationships and sexuality education in Australia needed to be more inclusive of children and young people from marginalised and minority backgrounds, needed to be responsive to the use of digital technology in young people’s lives, and needed to more directly address the risk factors of sexual harm in order to prevent childhood sexual abuse.

Her experience in sexuality education, human resources and management gave her the foundations to build an organisation dedicated to creating and delivering education programs to empower children and young people.

Deanne continues to work on creating a workplace and education programs that value the experiences and knowledge of people of all ages, genders, sexualities, faiths, cultural backgrounds, and abilities.
