My court case against Sussan Ley brought me into the public spotlight two years ago. Since then I’ve been constantly hit by absolutely vile racism. Here’s a tiny sample, because enough is enough and now I’m going to talk about it.

How do university students experience menstruation? Our review with @PLOSONE and media release explores this and more 🩸(hint: there’s more to periods than pain and pads). #menstrualhealth #highereducation

A study led by @Sydney_Uni has found 68% of women who returned to work after a #miscarriage reported receiving negative or no support from HR.

The study suggests that although teams can create #supportive environments, there is a need for an organisation-wide culture of support.
