Daniel Principe

Youth Advocate & Educator

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and consent educator. Daniel has spoken to more than 55,000 students at more than 250 schools around Australia about creating spaces to champion boys into becoming good men. 

The saying “boys will be boys”, can be traced back to ancient Roman times. Essentially society has been saying some form of this for at least 2,500 years. This dated idiom is working against us.

Yet, we still hear it. We hear it at the same time as we see the number of women being killed by a current or former intimate partner increase.

So how do we stop the violence? For Daniel, the answer is simple. Start young…take our boys on journies of self-discovery and show them the benefits of being decent, safe, respectful, courageous, empathetic, kind - to think of other than self. 

Daniel’s social cause is an end to the exploitation and abuse of children. He’s also an ambassador for Consent can’t wait.
