VIC | DFFH | ADVOCATING | The Unsaid Says A Lot

[Edited extract from public address]

Everyone deserves to be safe, supported, and equal. Help make Victoria more inclusive by supporting our trans and gender diverse communities.

3 in 4 trans and gender diverse people have been treated unfairly because of their gender identity. Each silent gesture, every unspoken word, carries weight. So, think about what you’re really saying. 

So, think about what you're really saying.

Towards equality

The Unsaid Says A Lot is an Australian-first campaign in support of trans and gender diverse communities. This is a nation leading campaign. It was co-designed, produced and created by TGD communities.

The campaign highlights the many instances of discrimination faced by the trans and gender diverse community every single day.

We want our audience to understand the impact of their non-verbal communication. We do this by translating non-verbal communication and showing the effect it has on trans and gender diverse people.  

We're helping people understand discrimination, but also showing moments of allyship and how important it is to be accepting.  

We leave our audience with a choice of how they want to engage with the community. The unsaid says a lot. So, what are you really saying?

Be an ally

Discrimination, harassment and abuse are never acceptable. You can be an active ally to trans and gender diverse people.

We encourage all Victorians to take everyday actions to support greater inclusion and acceptance.

We can lead the way in celebrating diversity and the benefits it brings to all Victorians.
