@jasminecrowe Absolutely! And meditating works best to reverse it. Meditation is our stress antidote!

Brilliant and important conversation on tonight’s #qanda #allaboutwomen @ABCTV

[Nina Funnell, Journalist & Survivor advocate🎗️ @ninafunnell]

Grace Tame calls on ALL journalists not to exploit or commodify survivor pain.

Too often rape reporting is packaged as trauma-porn-meets-inspo porn, & media risk reproducing the cycle of exploitation & objectification.

Check out @OurWatchAus media reporting resources.

[Annabelle Daniel OAM @ADanielOAM]

Absolutely.
And please don’t treat over-extended community services (where many survivors work) as some form of ‘survivor brokerage service’ where you can call & order the particular ‘type’ of story you need. Not all journos of course, but enough that this happens often.

New report by @the_parenthood shows massive economic gains and developmental and wellbeing benefits to kids by increasing our investment in early childhood education and care @ThrivebyFive @spage_ECA @AusHumanRights https://t.co/XodezUQyum

Women, who comprise slightly more than half the population, who have carried Australia through this pandemic and borne the brunt of the adverse financial & social implications of COVID19 get 0.0385% of the $600B+ spend. There's no way that's not shocking. But wait! There's more!

[Prof Kristy Muir @KristyMuir2]

Racism is rife, sacred sites are being destroyed, the economy is dislocated & society is fractured. So much of this is to do with inequity & power, with one group taking from another - someone’s life, culture, rights, worth #EnoughIsEnough #AboriginalLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter

[Prof Kristy Muir @KristyMuir2]

Heartbreaking, cruel, damaging and unnecessary...

[Annabelle Daniel OAM @ADanielOAM]

⁦@ANROWSCEO⁩ absolutely nails it here on the early days & evidence about #dfv during #COVID19au. Increases, decreases, calls up calls down - what does it mean? She unpicks it all.

"we have found that a leader’s ability to first tune into and regulate their inner mental and emotional response to experience can make or break their ability to tune into and move the system around them."

[Cat Fay (she/her) @cat_fay]

I'm hoping many philanthropists use this crisis to begin supporting charities with unrestricted funding. Those organisations need flexibility to apply funding as needed now more than ever. #COVID19au #philanthropy

[Mark Speakman @MarkSpeakman]

#domesticviolence + #sexualassault are NEVER acceptable. While I believe in free speech, I don't believe in rewarding statements of Ms Arndt's kind. She has crossed the line. Survivors and their families deserve better.

[Annabelle Daniel OAM @ADanielOAM]

@MarkSpeakman @MWhitbourn Thank you, @MarkSpeakman. This is important #dfv

[Mark Speakman @MarkSpeakman]

I can't in good conscience ignore the comments of Bettina Arndt and their potential to empower attitudes that ultimately endanger innocent women and children. I have therefore joined calls for her AM to be rescinded.

[ANU Vice-Chancellor @VC_ANU]

Opportunities like this are rare: @JuliaGillard and I are on the search for the inaugural Director of The Global Institute for Women’s Leadership @ouranu – sister Institute to @GIWLkings that will be focused on #womensleadership in the #asiapacific. https://t.co/GlNUUMPF50

Rosie Batty: "No one is 'driven' to murder no matter the circumstances or situation that they find themselves in. Murder is a decision that is deliberate and driven by the need to exact revenge and achieve the ultimate act of power and control." #domesticviolence

[OurPlaceAus @OurPlaceAus]
