19.01.2022 We spend billions of dollars on national security, fighting terrorism, as we should, but the fact we fail to adequately fund efforts to stem the most deadly form of terrorism on Australian soil intimate terrorism is stark. If two Australians had been killed in any other type of terrorist attack on Monday, let alone three, it would be front-page news and the question being asked wouldn’t be Can we afford to invest in the services that are necessary to keep Australians safe? It would be this: how big does the cheque need to be to ensure this does not happen again. https://womensagenda.com.au//48-women-have-now-been-kille/

18.01.2022 "My sister didn’t think she was in danger. A week before she was killed, she told me he was controlling and I knew he exploited her kindness and empathy by threatening to kill himself. But she didn’t and I didn’t realise that those non-physical control dynamics are so dangerous. What I want women to understand is that coercive control is at the core of domestic abuse." - Nithy Reddy, sister of Preethi Reddy Emotional abuse, sexual coercion and cyber stalking are all forms... of coercive control. Australia, it's time to take a stand and change the culture that makes men feel entitled to control their partners' lives.

16.01.2022 "Maintaining and extending JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments should be a critical policy response because both payments are effectively domestic violence prevention strategies Professor Cathy Humphreys That’s why we support a permanent raise to support for all Australians without work. As Zita Ngor says, What we're concerned about is when those Government safety nets are pulled back, we're going to see a lot lot more domestic and family violence as communities are put under ...pressure. So join with charities, community services, business leaders and unions in saying, Raise the rate for good! https://www.abc.net.au//experts-warn-second-wave-/12732100

16.01.2022 Did you know? Globally, one in three women experiences physical or sexual violence. While domestic violence and abuse are sometimes hidden, we can seek or offer help if we can spot the signs. As part of the #16Days of Activism, the United Nations has put together an FAQ guide. #orangetheworld #16DaysofActivism #GenerationEquality

14.01.2022 The introduction of this reform to leave entitlements ensures that victim-survivors of domestic violence can seek safe housing, attend medical appointments or organise alternative care and school arrangements for their children without exhausting their other forms of leave. NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman It’s fantastic to see the New South Wales Government back calls from the Australian Services Union NSW & ACT, Unions NSW and supported by White Ribbon Australia for 10 days paid universal family and domestic violence leave to be legislated and available for every working Australian. https://www.theguardian.com//nsw-government-urges-federal-

14.01.2022 Nobody should ever have to go through what I’ve been through Meet Daniel Boyd. His mother was murdered by his father in 2016. He gave a powerful speech at today’s Sydney vigil to honour women who have been killed due to domestic violence in 2020 - and also released this important video telling his story. https://youtu.be/YWOtV4KXqwM

13.01.2022 At the beginning of last year we saw an increase in the amount of cases that our employees were supporting around family and domestic violence, as well as mental healthWe really experienced that increase in societal challenges and on the back of that, it created some urgency in our organisation to continue our focus on building out our support programs around domestic violence. InvoCare Human Resources Director Amanda Tober Congratulations to InvoCare on creating a world...-leading domestic violence policy and equipping staff with the right training to better support those impacted. The company doubled the amount of government-recommended domestic violence leave to ten days paid and ten days unpaid. They also rolled out several learning programs to help employees feel more comfortable in talking about domestic violence, whether they are supporting a customer or opening up the conversation with a colleague. We’re so proud to be working with InvoCare on their White Ribbon Australia Workplace Accreditation to advance a safer and more equal workplace for everyone. They’re showing great leadership in their industry and the wider community and demonstrating true commitment to their employees and customers.

11.01.2022 2020 will be remembered as the worst year for domestic violence that any of us who are in the sector now have ever experienced. There [have been] just so many more strangulation cases, so many threats to kill, so many more serious head injuries, and sexual assaults [have been] going through the roof, Hayley Foster, Women's Safety NSW Men’s violence against women is a rolling and escalating national crisis that requires an equivalent response at every level. Government, community and every one of us. All in. https://www.theguardian.com//the-worst-year-domestic-viole

09.01.2022 It’s one thing to joust with obscenity and morality and another to pretend sexual violence is counter-cultural when it’s the precise opposite. Remember, the greatest indicator a woman is going to be killed by her partner is that he is controlling and threatening her. A NSW coroner’s review of intimate-partner homicides found 99 per cent of perpetrators had committed coercive and controlling behaviours towards the victim before killing them Julia Baird It will take all of us..., in every community, culture and sub-culture, to undermine and eliminate the tacit approval of misogyny and abuse. If we celebrate men who celebrate abuse we help create the space for violence to continue in our community. The better choice - celebrate respect. Consent. Equality. This is where hope for a better future is found. https://www.smh.com.au//marilyn-manson-a-violent-controlli

07.01.2022 "To determine the form of this legalisation we will consult with survivors, domestic violence service providers, legal experts and the community. This is such an important issue and it is important that we get it right." Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman MP Fantastic work by Brisbane Domestic Violence Service, DVConnect, Women's Legal Service Queensland, The Allison Baden-Clay Foundation, Small Steps 4 Hannah, MATE Bystander Program and all who have called for this important... change in Queensland and will continue to contribute to the careful consultation and crafting of these essential laws. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au//repeated-emotional-abuse
