Sexuality, Relationships and Your Rights (SRAYR)
This is a picture-based, Easy English resource for teaching people about their rights and the law related to their body, health, relationships and sexuality.
Research shows that people with disability are at more risk of both being victims of sexual crimes and, often accidentally, perpetrators of crimes. From a sex positive and person-centered approach, this resource aims to empower individuals (and the people that support them) to know how the law can support or protect them from these experiences.
The Sexuality, Relationships and Your Rights (SRAYR) resource has information about sexuality, sexual health, and relationships. It tells people about their rights and the law. It also tells people options about their body and about getting help. The SRAYR resources uses Easy English and pictures to explain the text.
From a sex-positive and person-centred approach, the SRAYR resource aims to empower people to know more about:
- their social and legal rights,
- their health and relationships,
- their sexuality and sexual health,
- and how the law can support individuals before and after difficult experiences.
Queensland version: Due to the success of the WA version of SRAYR, SECCA received a second government grant to expand the resource across Australia. Each Australian state/territory has its own version of the resource tailored to its specific laws and needs.
SECCA has collaborated with peak organisations across the country which work in the space of sexuality, disability, justice and advocacy. These bodies have worked generously, providing feedback, discussion and community insight to ensure each local version is the best it can be.
