In February 2021, a report in The Guardian detailed how a petition started by a former Sydney schoolgirl, Chanel Contos, coalesced into a litany of horror stories from Australian female students who had survived instances of extreme sexual violence. Page after page after page. Story after story after story: hundreds of them. Stories of boys raping girls, boys forcing girls to perform oral sex, boys anally raping girls, boys assaulting their girlfriends, boys assaulting girls who are unconscious, sharing the stories and the images and the videos with their friends. In one case, uploading illicitly taken videos to a widely available porn website. Some girls are as young as 13. The boys are their peers,- The Guardian reported.
