Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. As of today, 50 women are known to have been murdered in Australia in 2019. #IDEVAW #EVAW #VAW #orangetheworld #generationequality bit.ly/2rri11t

Royal assent when the Medevac laws were passed = 2 and a half weeks. Royal assent when the Medevac laws were repealed = 6 hours. The Morrison Government is clearly happy to rush headlong into cruelty

Inspiration oozing from the panel members at the #metoo : stories from the Australian movement talks tonight as a part of West Home WH #16DaysOfActivism I am humbled and inspired by these women who are breaking ground in our communities both near and far.

Strategies to prevent violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women must be based on the principles of self-determination, community control and leadership. The importance of the @NationalFVPLS and the front line organisations it represents cannot be overstated.

7 women killed by male violence in just the past 26 days in Australia and Not ScoMo during the 16 days of prevention of violence against women decided to defund the only National Forum for Indigenous women to tackle #DV. First refugees, now Indigenous women, who’s next?

Relatable

"Repealing the Medevac laws is tantamount to state-sanctioned torture and is in direct breach of our human rights obligations" Senator Mehreen Faruqi quotes our submission. #auspol bit.ly/348e93O

The Morrison Gov is waging a war on human rights. I’ve never seen a government with more contempt for justice in 20 years. Help us fight back, help us win for refugees in 2020. Chip in this weekend to the ASRC: asrc.org.au/donatenow:

It is an appalling national disgrace that after 7 year we still have 420 people languishing in PNG and Nauru, the majority in need of medical or mental health care that they are not receiving since #Medevac has been repealed. We are simply back to the dark old days again.

There is no feminist statement in this - those who see the industry as liberating have been conditioned by a society which endorses porn, disillusioned by a society that endorses patriarchy and the objectification of women. NY Fashion Week have much to answer for NYFW

Why Not ScoMo ?

The International Criminal Court has found that Australia, a democratic nation that claims to uphold human rights is actually imprisoning refugees in PNG Nauru & doing so in conditions that are cruel, inhuman and degrading. We all knew this already but formal recognition is huge!

Aussies killed by terrorism in last 5 years 4 Aussie women killed by male violence in last 51 days 9 When I compare it’s never to minimise threat of terrorism but to highlight far greater danger that gets no real action/funding because its women dying at hands of everyday men

As Australia heeds the message to #StayHome, gender roles and family dynamics are coming into sharp focus - and often in front of the kids.

Instead of giving extra money to wealthy people so that they can renovate their kitchens, why not actually just give $25,000 to disabled people who desperately need modifications to make their homes accessible? We are in an accessible housing crisis #Auspol
