Calls for ROYAL COMMISSION. It’s 2022, women are still dying horrifically. We have so much research, evidence, and still not getting it right. “ got to be really brave, as a government, as a community to ask why are we not collectively getting this right.”

It’s emotionally abusive. Remember that manipulative partners start small. On the contrary, your partner is supposed to encourage growth. He’s supposed to support the things that make you feel happy and confident, and that includes your fashion. https://t.co/Ll0EvCVKzU

Men can help men if they see, hear, or find out about a friend being emotionally, physically, or sexually abusive toward someone else, they can say something or do something. Operation Courage: Don't turn a blind eye. https://t.co/Ll0EvCVcKm

[Spirit of Woman @SpiritofWoman1]

Men’s use of violence is rooted in common constructions of what it means to be a man. Men can help change other men's behaviour. Let’s not allow silence to be compliance to a culture of violence. https://t.co/Ll0EvCVcKm

Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 defines rape and acc­ording to Exception 2 thereto, “sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape.” Support https://t.co/Ll0EvCVcKm

Operation Courage: The inevitable resistance to legal reform regarding marital rape can be attributed to the fact that they pose a significant threat to the status quo which sees men at dominating positions of power and control. #ItsNotYourFault. Support https://t.co/Ll0EvCVcKm

We can also speak up and challenge victim-blaming attitudes whether it is at the office, at the sports club, at the pub, or at a family BBQ. Operation Courage: Silencing is over.

[Spirit of Woman @SpiritofWoman1]

Operation Courage: #it'snotherfault - There are many valid reasons as to why a woman who is experiencing abuse may not want to or is unable to contact law enforcement for assistance. The most important thing we can all do initially is believe, believe, believe.

[Spirit of Woman @SpiritofWoman1]

Every time a woman speaks up about her experience of sexual violence and she’s not believed, the cycle of abuse continues. Every time you hear a survivor’s story: 1-Listen. 2-Believe. 3-Support. •it'snotherfault | #OrangeTheWorld

Operation Courage: Day 8: Gender-based violence is the most pervasive human rights violation, but it is neither natural, nor inevitable. It can and must be prevented. Let's start by believing survivors and taking action, during the #16Days and every day: #it'snotherfault

[Spirit of Woman @SpiritofWoman1]

Helen knows the impact of living with domestic violence as a child. The ripple effect doesn't stop when you leave, or grow up, and if it remains buried it becomes your demon. Together we can make a difference. Operation Courage #It'snotherfault
