If you're a First Nations child, you're locked up for possessing a small amount of cannabis. But if you're a white, privileged man running a major drug ring, you get community service. Australia. The Lucky Country.

90 women are now dead - 11 women killed in November. When do we riot?
We lost the 90th Australian to violence yesterday. Last night police attended her home in Footscray, Victoria, to do a welfare check. Today the homicide squad is investigating. No one is charged. Police are seeking witnesses and CCTV or dasham footage.
She is the 90th woman killed in 2024 and the 11th woman killed in November.

In 2023 every 10 minutes globally a woman is killed by a partner or family member. In 2022 the rate was one woman killed every 11 minutes. 1 minute matters.
This increase in rate of women killed equates to:
💔 13 more women killed every day
💔 92 more women killed every week
💔 398 more women killed each month
💔 4,773 more women killed in a year
Every life matters. There is #NoExcuse. This is a global crisis.

Economic recovery after family violence feels like climbing a mountain with no end in sight. So many survivors face barriers that it seems almost impossible. The harsh truth is all the losses cannot be recovered, nor lost opportunities regained.
#Dare2Influence#EndDowryAbuse
💔 Dowry Abuse takes financial abuse to another level, huge demands for sums of money, property etc. It can ruin a family, leave serious debts; drives victims to suicide to protect their families from the abuse and further demands.
#Dare2Influence#EndDowryAbuse#FinancialAbuse
💔 Dowry abuse includes visa threats, leaving individuals fearing deportation, & face daunting challenges, while perpetrators get benefits. The profiteering of #DowryAbuse is extortion. #Dare2Influence - support our recommendations. #EndDowryAbuse#VisaRights#StopDowryViolence
