Don’t be a d!ck
Verbal slurs, sexist jokes, racism, homophobia, transphobia and general f*ckery...in this economy? No thanks.
Tips for
a Top
Night Out
Everyone should feel safe to go out and have a top night, right?
When you read stats like 1 in 2 women* experience sexual assault in their lifetime, and that 74% of female* sexual assault survivors don’t realise they’ve been assaulted, kinda makes you realise how badly sh#t needs to change.
It’s time to create a new social code that no longer blurs the lines of what is ok and what isn’t.
Check out our top tips, submit your own, share it on socials, and together, we can make every night out a #TopNightOut for everyone!
*Women/female and men/male gender and sex associations used in the above statistics are defined by the individual reporting bodies and utilised in its data. QMusic recognises a broader spectrum of gender and acknowledges a gap in the publicly-accessible reported statistics on underrepresented communities.
Groping is for gronks
And it’s sexual assault, so if you don’t know how to act respectfully in a crowd full of people, best to stay home, hey?
Clothing isn’t consent
What someone is wearing has zip to do with whether they’re up for it, down for it or anything in between. Clothing is not permission to someone else’s body.
If it’s not a hell yeah, it’s a hell no
Consent is freely given, enthusiastic, and can be withdrawn at any time. No explanation needed. So if you’re not hearing an enthusiastic yes, then it’s a no.
Be an Upstander. Not a Bystander.
If someone looks uncomfortable or unsafe, it’s ok to say something. If it doesn't seem safe to check in with them, alert event staff, security, or the police.
