Stop it at the Start

The campaign we have waited 50 years for… Stop it at the Start

Stop it at the Start is aimed at Violence Against Women except the positive outcomes will also see an end to bullying. Influencing our children with good examples and showing respect to everyone will end the cycle of violence and bullying.

Think KIND first.. be respectful, treat people with kindness and respect!

WE CAN ALL HELP STOP IT AT THE START

As parents, and as influencers of young people, we want the best for kids. We want them to have positive experiences, healthy relationships and opportunities to learn. We want them to understand right and wrong. We want them to respect others, and respect themselves.

We do our best to set a good example, but sometimes, without meaning to, we might say things that excuse disrespectful behaviour in young people.

It’s important we understand the cycle of violence. Not all disrespect towards women results in violence. But all violence against women starts with disrespectful behaviour.

THE CAMPAIGN

Stop it at the Start aims to help break the cycle of violence by encouraging adults to reflect on their attitudes, and have conversations about respect with young people.

The campaign is aimed at parents and family members of children aged 10–17, as well as the teachers, coaches, community leaders and employers of young people.

Since young people’s attitudes and behaviours are shaped by those around them, it’s important to expose them to positive influences where they live, work, learn and socialise. As adults, we need to recognise and reconcile our role as important influencers of the younger generation.

Stop it at the Start is a Council of Australian Governments initiative, jointly funded by the Australian, state and territory governments. Campaign activities run until the end of 2018, and will build on efforts already underway by states and territories, as well as non-government organisations such as Our Watch and White Ribbon.

The following pages house more information on the campaign and materials for a range of audiences.
