We are passionate about empowering young people

In 2017, global headlines were dominated by revelations of sexual abuse across many spheres of society. The #MeToo movement sparked urgent questions:

• How has sexual abuse and objectification become so normalised that it was tolerated and ignored for so long?
• What would it take to rewrite the cultural narrative and promote healthy, respectful relationships?
• Can communities work together to create a culture of dignity and equality for the next generation?
• How can legislation and political discourse drive meaningful change?

Our founder, Helen Roberts, began a conversation that has been growing ever since. Today, we continue to address the sexualisation of children, the easy accessibility of explicit material, and the normalisation of pornography — issues that harm young people’s physical, mental, emotional, and relational health.

What started in Helen’s living room as friends asking, “What needs to be done?” has become a movement. From influencing legislation and gaining national media attention to working with thousands of young people, Dignify has come a long way — but there is still much to do.
