Since appearing on @ABCthedrum last week discussing @ANROWS community attitudes about violence against women, it's troubling to see people writing to say "both sides" are responsible. When men are literally MURDERING women often, there's no "both sides" to this debate. #TheDrum

Higher levels of #GBV during the pandemic, reduced services, plus home/online learning has had significant impacts on girls' #education. A @dfat case study shows policymakers can do more to make schools and communities safer for girls #16DaysofActivism dfat.gov.au/development/topi…

Did you know that roughly 9 out of 10 leaders of major Australian companies are white? Australia’s major institutions, including business, government and media do not reflect the diversity of our society. Learn more and take action at bit.ly/3O6YNDe #ItStopsWithMe

One of the ways we can stop violence against women before it starts is by working within our school system. Respectful relationships education uses the education system as a catalyst for change to create a future free from violence @MonashGFV canberratimes.com.au/story/7…

We send condolences to the family & friends of WA woman Sajida Tasneem, allegedly murdered overseas by her father-in-law on June 11. A respected community member, Ms Tasneem leaves behind three children. We must continue to speak out against violence & take action to prevent it.
