Viral News / Australia removed from milkshake video on sex

Delhi: The Australian government is facing all-round criticism for its one-step move. Actually, the Australian government had released two videos related to the sex education campaign, but they had to be removed from the website as the controversy escalated. Basically, these online programs were designed to make school children aware of sexual consent and sexual harassment. The Australian Government had released about 350 videos, stories and podcasts on The Good Society's website to provide sex education in children under the Respect Matters. They are used in all schools in Australia to educate children between 14 and 17 years old.

But social activists and sex education experts expressed concern over the videos that instead of giving a message, create the opposite illusion. In fact, people have been raising strong objections about the metaphors that have been used to talk about consent over sex. Experts said that these videos have failed to convey their message and are causing confusion.

For example, in one video, a teenage girl ships a 'milkshake' on her boyfriend's face without consent. In another video, a girl is reluctant to swim with SAARC while her boyfriend is trying to persuade her for it.

Activists have raised objections to both these videos. It is being said on the video of milkshakes that the use of such a metaphor reveals disregard of one's feelings. This is worrisome. Currently, Australian government officials have removed these videos from the website.

Australia's journalist Matilda Bosley said, "This is the new video of the government to teach teenagers about consent." I think that after seeing this my knowledge got further reduced. You can speak sex directly. You can use these words directly to explain teenagers.

According to an ABC report, a spokesman for the Department of Education said that the video has been removed following all the feedback received. However, the government appeared to be defending its move. The government said that these videos were produced with the help of experts. At the moment, the video has been removed following protests from activists as well as the ruling party Liberal and the opposition's Labor Party.

New South Wales Education Minister Sarah Mitchell has called the video a lapse. He said that I think that when we talk about these issues, we should talk more openly to the youth.

The Gender Equality Organization 'Fair Agenda' campaigned to remove these videos. It stated that "young people deserve training on consensual and respectful relationships which practically and clearly helps them to understand relationships morally."

The Fair Agenda also stated that the website has failed to meet Australia's national standards for the prevention of sexual harassment through education. Sharna Bremer, director of the Australian organization & Rape, which works against sexual harassment at the university campus, tweeted, "There is some good information on the site. But there are actually some damaging things that outperform any good."

Dr., who works on sex health at Curtin University. Jacqui Hendrix told The Guardian that the videos failed to underline the issue of sex and consent. He said, "Trying to talk about sex without actually talking about sex is not going to be helpful. We need to talk about consent, especially in intimate and sexual relationships."
