SHoT report: The rise of s*xual harassment in schools

Our S*xual Harassment of Teachers (SHoT) report presents findings from a survey of over 1,000 teachers, conducted by Collective Shout in partnership with Maggie Dent.

Teachers reported an increased in s*xual harassment and other harmful s*xual behaviours in schools. The main drivers were identified as social media and p**n exposure, harmful manosphere influencers and misogynstic attitudes.

One teacher said, “The misogyny has gotten so much worse". Another reported that male students were “becoming increasingly misogynistic”.

The use of degrading language towards female students was frequently raised, with boys employing sexist slurs and objectifying remarks.

Parents take note!

Collective Shout campaigner Renee Chopping shares her thoughts on eSafety Commissioner's new web-based game for kids 👇🏼

Just came across something genuinely great from the eSafety Commissioner and wanted to share it with parents of younger kids.

They’ve created a fun little online game called 'Robo Raven and the Ancient Relics' where kids join the Mighty Heroes and work their way through a series of challenges to beat Robo Raven’s tricks. It’s designed to help children learn practical online safety skills while they play.

What I liked about it is that the lessons are simple and clear without feeling preachy. Kids move through three core challenges:

• Investigating - learning to question whether things they see online are actually true

• Respect - understanding what it means to be kind and thoughtful online

• Responsibility - recognising when they might have shared too much personal information

The finale ties all three together in a clever way. I’ll admit it had me smiling… and I even had a little chuckle at the end.

Online safety education works best when it meets kids where they are. Turning these concepts into a game they can explore themselves is a really smart approach.

If you have younger children, this is definitely one worth checking out together.

Grooming, extortion and self-harm: How predators use Discord to exploit children.

Discord’s exclusion from Australia’s social media ban has created a dangerous blind spot as predators exploit the platform to target vulnerable children.

Collective Shout Board Director Louise Juracich, quoted in this article, refuses to allow her 13yr old son to access Discord because she doesn't think it is safe.

Watched the manosphere doc and wondering what to do next?

So you’ve sat down with your adolescent sons and watched Louis Theroux’s new Netflix doco ‘Inside the Manosphere’ with them – and now you’re wondering what to do next! We can recommend two recently released resources to help keep the convo with your boys going. These guides can also be used in schools, youth groups and anywhere other youth-focussed organisations.

The eSafety Commissioner has published ‘The manosphere: What it is and what parents and carers need to know’, eSafety Commissioner

Monash University researchers in partnership with Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (ANROWS) have developed a new resource for educators to support secondary schools across Australia to respond to the rising influence of the “manosphere” and its harmful impacts on young people.

The resource, The Manosphere: Impacts for Young People, Teachers and Schools, is written for educators responding directly to manosphere influence in their schools, and provides an overview of the harmful impacts of the manosphere on young people, teachers and school communities. The resource includes an introduction to key beliefs, links to violence, and recruitment pathways for boys and young men; insights into the role of social media; and practical information to support teachers and school staff to recognise, understand and respond to these issues.

“This guide gives schools a clear, evidence‑based starting point to understand what the manosphere is, why it matters, and how to help their students navigate these harmful narratives,” says lead researcher Dr Naomi Pfitzner.

You can also find some helpful discussion questions we put together after watching the film ourselves– ‘Inside the Manosphere’: clicks, outrage, profit and the abuse of boys’

Flashback Friday! Remember when e-commerce giant Alibaba Group took down multiple sellers of child s*x abuse dolls following our campaign in 2020?

Our team uncovered life-like, anatomically-correct CSA dolls sold by 23 suppliers out of China.

We welcomed the actions of Alibaba Group to remove all CSA doll listings from its global platform – only 2 weeks later!

The company stated:

“We would like to thank Collective Shout for alerting us to listings which violated Alibaba’s user terms and conditions. After being notified of such listings by Collective Shout, we have taken action to remove them and implement a number of additional measures to prevent the items being relisted. We hope to work with Collective Shout in the future on the ongoing fight against child exploitation and s*xual violence.”

We commend Alibaba Group’s demonstration of Corporate Social Responsibility and have valued our positive working relationship since.

Now it's the time for Amazon to do the same!

*Content warning* Grok doesn’t only strip victims: Men and boys are using it to create violent abuse material of women and girls

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok made global news after it was used to digitally undr*ss women and girls on mass. In a period of less than two weeks, Grok was used to create 3 million s*xualised images, including 23,000 images of children – child s*xual abuse material. Three members of our own team were targeted.

But while it’s bad enough that men and boys are using Grok to undr*ss and humiliate women and girls, Grok can also be used to generate images of extreme violence against women.

We know, because again, members of our team have experienced it. Our story was featured on the front page of the New York Times.

Perpetrators on X used Grok to create images of Coralie Alison and Caitlin Roper depicted being murdered and tortured – mutilated, on fire, hanging dead from a noose, fed into a woodchipper and decapitated.

The deeply disturbing images serve as a threat.

We’re calling on Apple and Google Play to remove Grok app from their stores. We need your help to keep the pressure on - more info in the comments.

Over the past few weeks, thousands of you have taken action to expose the anti-women and children activities of xAI’s Grok and e.Commerce giant Amazon.

You’ve demanded:

✅ Google Play and Apple store remove Grok due to its nudifying function - used to degrade, debase, frighten, humiliate and intimidate women and girls (including three of our team)

✅ Amazon stop selling child s*x abuse dolls and replica body parts normalising child s*xual abuse

Your actions have helped push these unethical and harmful business decisions into corporate inboxes, the media and onto the public agenda.

“Watching my daughter have a panic attack after realizing that these images were created and distributed without any hope of recalling them was heartbreaking”

The Guardian reports:
'A group of three teenage girls, two of whom are minors, filed a lawsuit on Monday against Elon Musk’s xAI artificial intelligence company alleging that its Grok image generator used photos of them to produce and distribute child s*xual abuse material.

“xAI chose to profit off the s*xual predation of real people, including children, despite knowing full well the consequences of creating such a dangerous product,” Vanessa Baehr-Jones, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said in a statement...

One girl, referred to as Jane Doe 1, received a message on Instagram in December from an anonymous user, who alerted her that someone in her social circle had uploaded a series of deepfake videos and images to a Discord server that depicted her and other girls from her high school naked and in s*xualized positions, according to the complaint.

Jane Doe noticed that three of the photos appeared to be AI-altered images of photographs taken while she was a minor, including one from her school’s homecoming celebration. Criminal investigators later also discovered that the images had been shared on the messaging app Telegram, according to the complaint, where they were allegedly being used as a currency to barter for other child s*xual abuse material.

“The images showed her entire body, including her ge****ls, without any clothes. The video depicted her un******ng until she was entirely nude,” the complaint states.'
