Rosie in the Classroom

Rosie in the Classroom is an educational resource kit based on our original Rosie Videos, created to assist teachers in talking about difficult but important topics.

Topics like sexting or respect in relationships should be incorporated into the curriculum so that all teenagers are aware of their rights and can encourage respect within their school community. Each module includes a downloadable lesson plan and video which can be screened in class.

These lesson plans have been written by Briony O’Keeffe, lead teacher at Fitzroy High School and facilitator of the Fitzroy High School Feminist Collective, and are suitable for students in years 7-10.

Rosie Videos

We create original video content providing key information on stress reduction, violence prevention, maintaining healthy friendships, sexual harassment and much more. The videos address areas of disadvantage for young women, inform them of their legal rights, provide strategies and support for dealing with a variety of issues, while promoting inclusivity, diversity & compassion. 

By unpacking tough issues, these videos serve as a tool for self education, as well as an important resource for teachers.

Write Like a Girl

Write Like a Girl is our teenage blog program, giving writers aged 14-19 the opportunity to get their voice out there.

Inspired by Clementine Ford’s feminist text Fight Like A Girl, this program features a new young writer every month. Each writer selects their own topic. We have been fortunate to work with a diverse range of young people passionate about stuff that really matters. 

Through Write Like A Girl we have published insightful articles on mental health, feminism in schools, reproductive rights, people seeking asylum, gender stereotypes, working rights, multiculturalism and global warming.

Every writer is paid for their valuable contribution and we are proud to showcase the talents of young Australians.
