SAS Media Guidelines for Reporting on Sexuality Related Topics

The Society of Australian Sexologists (SAS) Media Guidelines for Reporting on Sexuality and Diversity aim to provide media outlets with a framework for responsible, inclusive, and respectful reporting on topics related to sexuality. These guidelines emphasise the importance of placing stories in context, ensuring accuracy and balance, and using respectful language. Furthermore, they stress the principles that any sexual practice that is consensual and legal should not be stigmatised. When reporting on sexual violence, special care must be taken to consider the survivor's privacy and utilise survivor-focused language, avoiding victim blaming.

Submissions to the Religious Discrimination Bills – second exposure drafts consultation

The Society does not support laws that grant legal permission for some people to discriminate against others. The privileging of religious views over the human rights of all Australians, including the rights of those most vulnerable in our society,is likely to result in the violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
