Supporting Our Community Together

Body Safety Australia is dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse through education, awareness, and community support. We work tirelessly to create safe environments for children and provide resources for families and communities.

LOUD Fence

LOUD fence stands with victim-survivors of child sexual assault, and their loved ones. The colourful ribbons tied to fences represent the voices of those who have been silenced. LOUD fence began as a community response to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and has since grown into a powerful movement of solidarity and support.

Current Project

Our project is inspired by the LOUD Fence movement, which began in Ballarat as a way to honour survivors of child sexual abuse. We're holding a vigil Thursday 4th September 2025 at Parliament House in Canberra, using baby gates to represent early childhood and tying colourful ribbons to symbolise the children who’ve been harmed. Anyone passing by can add a ribbon - no names, just a gesture of care and solidarity. We hope this grows into a heartfelt, grassroots campaign, with ribbons appearing at kindergartens, schools, and public spaces all across the country.
