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.
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!
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
@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."
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
#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.
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 I have therefore joined calls for her AM to be rescinded.
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
It's with great pride that we congratulate our CEO @Sarah_K_Davies AM and State Manager for VIC & TAS @PatBurkeAus OAM who were both recognised in this years #AustraliaDayHonours alongside a significant cohort from the #philanthropic and #nfp sectors.

"Rather than using time and resources on inquiry No. 58, we should instead commit to fully implement the recommendations of all the previous inquiries, reviews and royal commissions we have already held." #AustraliaBushfires#auspol
