The NSW Government\u2019s highly successful education campaign, empowering young people to check consent before engaging in sexual activity, has been relaunched today in the lead up to the end of year party season.
\u00a0
The expansion of the\u00a0Make No Doubt campaign<\/a>\u00a0follows the success of phase 3 of the social and digital media campaign which ran from May to August this year and has recorded more than 46.75 million impressions to date.
\u00a0
Attorney General Mark Speakman said independent research commissioned to assess the campaign\u2019s impact on 16-24 year olds shows that it is changing attitudes and behaviours in relation to seeking consent.
\u00a0
\u201cThe Make No Doubt videos are designed to ensure people are empowered to check consent every time they engage in sexual activity,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis is especially important for 16-24 year olds who have a higher risk of sexual assault perpetration and victimisation. It\u2019s about making sure that when people engage in sexual activity, they are taking part voluntarily and are choosing to say \u2018yes\u2019.
\u00a0
\u201cThe feedback on the campaign has been very positive. I thank the many stakeholders who provided valuable feedback and support during its development, particularly Saxon Mullins, Rachael Burgin and Chanel Contos.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Women\u2019s Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence Natalie Ward said the relaunch of the Make No Doubt campaign builds on the NSW Government\u2019s strong reforms to ensure consent needs to be given freely and voluntarily.
\u00a0
\u201cWe have listened extensively to victim-survivors about how we can improve our response to sexual violence, including how to boost education for the community on what constitutes consent,\u201d Mrs Ward said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis campaign is empowering people to make the right choices and is making it clear that you need to check consent every time you engage in sexual activity.
\u00a0
\u201cThe NSW Government\u2019s\u00a0consent laws<\/a>\u00a0set clear boundaries for consensual sex and this campaign will help ensure even more people understand what they need to do to have healthy, respectful relationships.\u201d
\u00a0
Survivor Advocate and Director of Rape & Sexual Assault Research & Advocacy, Saxon Mullins welcomed the expansion of the Make No Doubt campaign.
\u00a0
\u201cIt\u2019s important that we continue to have open conversations about consent that don\u2019t trivialise or obscure it,\u201d Ms Mullins said.
\u00a0
\u201cThe extension of the Make No Doubt campaign keeps the conversation going. The more people who see these videos, the better we\u2019ll all be.\u201d
\u00a0
Chanel Contos, CEO & Founder of Teach Us Consent Movement, said the independent research shows that the campaign is clearly having an impact.
\u00a0
\u201cThe fact that 81% of people, and 83% of young men, who saw the campaign\u00a0have already taken some form of positive action in relation to consent, speaks volumes to the success of this campaign,\u201d Ms Contos said.
\u00a0
\u201cPublic education campaigns like this are crucial as we strive for cultural change.\u00a0I hope this is one of many.\u201d
The video ads will run on social media and digital channels, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok plus some new channels including Twitch and online dating platforms.
\u00a0
The NSW Government debuted Make No Doubt in 2018 and followed up with a second phase in 2019. Phase 3 of Make No Doubt ran for 12 weeks from 25 May 2022.\u00a0
\u00a0
The new campaign will run from today until January 2023.
\u00a0
The videos are the product of months of consultation with numerous stakeholders, including sexual violence service providers and community groups.
