So EXCITED!!!!!!! to release today's episode of The Nasty Woman Club!!!! I got to interview Chanel Contos who is the definition of inspiring + badass. For the past month she's been calling out rape culture in Australia's school and demanding sexual consent to be at the forefront of educational issues in school from a young age. Over 30,000 people have signed her petition and almost 5,000 people have written in testimonies sharing their experiences of sexual assault and sexual harassment while in school.

During this chat Chanel and I discussed the importance of men and women identifying internalised sexist behaviour, rape culture in schools, the current climate in London following the murder Sarah Everard and the importance of teaching children about consent and the proper terms for their “private parts."
