17.01.2022 Hello! We are a group of Occupational Therapy students hoping to make a change by promoting awareness and changing our language to stop domestic violence against women. Language shapes our perceptions towards women and condones domestic violence. Let us use respectful language to discourage domestic violence!... White Ribbon Australia has been working with men and women to end domestic violence against women since 1981! Be sure to connect with them and follow the amazing things they do! #SocialChangeOT

16.01.2022 The things we say and the way we say it takes the blame off the men who commit the violence acts. It wasn't the victim's fault that she 'was in the wrong place at the wrong time'. She 'should have called for help'. Don't ask 'what was she doing out so late' or 'what was she wearing'. Victim-blaming takes the onus off the men by justifying that their actions that being attacked is something the victim could have prevented - rather than he men who cant control themselves. ... https://girltalkhq.com/if-you-think-alcohol-causes-rape-yo/

07.01.2022 It's been 5 years since Jackson Katz's eloquent TedTalk. He wonderfully breaks down the how the things we say contribute to Domestic Violence against Women. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvSfeCRxe8

06.01.2022 Jane Gilmore beautifully reitterates the Jackson Katz's idea on how our language takes the responsibility away from the perpetrator. We want to focus and empathise with the victim through such painful experiences, that we lose track of why it happened in the first place. https://www.smh.com.au//no-women-arent-as-likely-to-commit
