Between 2015 and 2018 Millwood Consulting’s Director Allison Henry was the Campaign Director for The Hunting Ground Australia Project, a 2015 Good Pitch Australia film.
The Hunting Ground (2015) is a critically acclaimed US feature length documentary that focuses on the personal stories of students who have experienced sexual assault on campuses, and the institutional failure of some American universities to respond effectively and appropriately to such abuses.
The Hunting Ground Australia Project was a collaborative campaign driving the massive shift in institutional responses to sexual violence on Australian university campuses.
The Project used the documentary as a tool to engage Australian universities, and the broader community, in a collaborative campaign around the incidence of, and responses to, sexual violence on Australian university campuses. The Project was instrumental in initiating the Australian Human Rights Commission’s landmark national student survey, released in August 2017, and is driving the effort to hold Australian universities and residential colleges to account.
In April 2017 The Caledonia Foundation, as lead philanthropic supporter of Good Pitch Australia, was awarded the 2017 Gender-wise Philanthropy Award for The Hunting Ground Australia Project.
