🔈 Speaker announcement! 🔈 We’re thrilled to have incredible advocates from across Victoria coming together to speak to you about preventing family violence and violence against women. See you there! #WAFV2023 #WhyWeWalk

And yet again … another woman killed allegedly by male violence. This is the tip of the iceberg of the national crisis of domestic, family & sexual violence in Australia. The level and breadth of harm & the long term impacts are incomprehensible.

Today’s the day. I walk because violence against women & family violence is a national crisis. This violence is preventable. Join us at 11am today on the steps of Vic Parliament to walk in solidarity with victim-survivors 🧡 #WAFV2023

I walk because violence against women & family violence is a national crisis. This violence is preventable. Wonderful to be here in Melbourne with so many to imagine and work towards a safe, equal and respected future for everyone.

Australia, it's time we talked about our attitudes towards violence against women. They simply don't reflect reality. Great to have this article with Serina McDuff on the mismatch between attitudes towards & prevalence data on violence against women canberratimes.com.au/story/8436158/…

Care work is work. Today’s announcement that super payments on Commonwealth paid parental leave will help challenge the systems that limit women’s financial independence. This is key for addressing the culture that drives gender-based violence. theconversation.com/government-to-…

Great to be in Canberra meeting with MPs. We’re talking about the importance of investing in prevention of violence against women programs and engaging men and boys in this crucial work. Always amazing to meet up with the incredible Rosie Batty.
