That's the message being driven home with this year's Sexual Assault Awareness Month, with Tasmanians encouraged to integrate teal into their outfit on April 26 to start conversations around consent.
'Wear Teal Tuesday', the main day of action for the month, is designed to encourage open dialogue about how every person can help put an end to, and to end the stigma of talking about, sexual violence.
"We need to keep building on this moment by opening dialogue in our workplaces, in our schools, in social settings, at home, in the community and online," Prevention of Family Violence Minister Jacquie Petrusma said.
"I would like to recognise the great courage of victim-survivors in sharing their stories and reporting these offences."
The government is currently seeking feedback on their Safe Homes, Families and Communities action plan, with submissions able to be made until April 30 for the next iteration.
Public submissions are also being sought on the government's Hearing Lived Experience Survey.
Information on how to make a submission is available on the Safe from Violence website.
If you or someone you know is impacted by family violence, contact the Family Violence Response and Referral Line 24/7 on 1800 633 937.
