Good to see focus on gender based violence on News Breakfast Please don't forget sexual violence Queensland Sexual Assault Network has 12 year olds on rape counselling wait lists. Critical underfunding Michael Rowland

Every woman deserves safety. Over 2.7 million women have faced domestic violence since age 15.

The time to act was yesterday.

Thank you Zoe Daniel MP (she/her) & the House of Representatives.

“This budget was the moment for comprehensive and properly funded measures to prevent violence against women. For words to turn into meaningful action. For the scale of the investment to reflect the national emergency. But I’m

Women’s safety advocates have expressed disappointment and despair at the government’s decision not to allocate new funding to frontline services in this Budget.

“Karen Williams believes BPD “is a gendered diagnosis that is given to women who have got histories of abuse, whereas when we see a man come back from a traumatic event, we say he’s got PTSD” theguardian.com/society/articl…

Why am I worried when I hear Jim Charmers say we need more training of staff for new urgent medical centres- look at the cost of study Jim and work conditions that can be nothing short of ‘slave like’! Look at the Drs class action! Time to honorably look after the peeps!

“In NSW, for example, No to Violence, which represents service providers for men’s behaviour change programs, says there are “at least 480 men using violence currently on waiting lists” for intervention programs.” #DFSV crisis

And there 👇you have it in a nutshell! 🌰 It’s a moral tragedy 🙈 So much for community focused accountability! Green lighting criminal acts in any form will never create change!

And women who support the male aggressive bush culture- too afraid to make any changes for fear of isolation! I experience on a regular basis, men who want women just to agree and play stupid or worse still, endow women with intellectual inferiority! x.com/jessradio/stat…
