Too Sexy, Too Soon: Sexualisation of children in the media

From tiny tots to late teens, children are being affected by sexualisation and media messages about weight, looks, clothes and behaviour. The harm is real, and not just to girls.

Parents, professionals and the community are invited to hear from Australia’s experts in the issues concerning the sexualisation of children and young people in the media.

The Department for Communities, with the Australian Council on Children and the Media (ACCM) present leading guest speakers:

• Julie Gale, Founding Director of Kids Free 2B Kids
