This symposium has been developed with the aim of raising national cross-sector awareness and understanding around the rise in ‘rough sex’, ‘choking’ and strangulation and discussing recent trends, challenges, risks, and wider issues.

The objectives of the symposium are:

  • to raise national cross-sector awareness and understanding around the rise in ‘rough sex’, ‘choking’ and strangulation and discuss current trends, challenges, and risks in Aotearoa New Zealand;

  • to explore some of the social, legal, and medical contexts and issues;

  • to initiate a conversation around an informed and consistent cross-sector response. Also, with a view to phase 2, as a wider public awareness campaign.

Here is a flyer with more information about the symposium date and location.
