Raising Voices

OK Year 10, please take your seats!

In our world of viral influence, unattainable beauty standards, and manosphere culture, the classroom has become an arena for misogyny and sexism. Students grapple to find their worth and hold their space, while burnt out teachers helplessly watch on. James endeavours to help all students ‘raise their voice’, but is then struck with the reality of what it means when they actually do.
