Take action!
Being a good ally is about showing up when you’re needed, and stepping back when you’re not. It’s about taking action to support a group you aren’t part of in whatever ways they need.
Together, we can pressure Australian governments to work with survivors groups, such as SOGICE Survivors and Brave Network, to create legislation that effectively ends conversion practices.
