What about gay and lesbian issues and sexual harassment?

« Back to the Questions

If you are having trouble at school with sexual harassment because of your sexual orientation or identity, talk to someone you trust like a teacher, parent or counsellor. Schools have ways to deal with this sort of bullying or harassment, so talk it through with a trusted adult.

Remember that violence is unacceptable. You have the right to take action against any one who is intimidating, threatening, harassing or assaulting you. It doesn’t matter who the person is. The Victorian Police have Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officers located throughout Victoria. If you are experiencing violence or harassment, you can contact them to discuss the issues you are facing.
