STEP UP! Respect launches new campaign tackling consent, pornography, jealousing and harmful sexualised behaviors in young people

In November 2025, Tangentyere Council proudly launched their new primary prevention campaign, targeted at young people, as part of the STEP UP! RESPECT initiative. The program aims to normalise conversations about consent, risky and harmful sexualised behaviors, porn and jealousing

This program was co-designed with Aboriginal youth and influencers from Central Australia and aims to de-stigmasie, conversations around sex and healthy relationships and encourage open communication.

The TVCs feature the debut acting roles for both Mparntwe, Alice Springs locals, Aaliyah Anderson and Caleb Doolan. Red Sands Creative produced the six, 30-second TVCs and they were launched on Imparja Television and shown at a showcase at Tangentyere Brown Street Youth Hub, with over 200 people in attendance.
Step Up! Respect would like to thank both actors and everyone involved for their efforts in supporting this program.
