I can’t stop thinking about all the women in Afghanistan right now. Especially those the Taliban sent home from work - told to quit or send their husbands to work in their place. Taliban seized cities, they sent women home https://t.co/YFZi9xcVIE via @AJEnglish

“I am a journalist and I am not allowed to work. What will I do next? The next generation will have nothing, everything we have achieved for 20 years will be gone. The Taliban is the Taliban. They have not changed."https://t.co/AktyQ5PhDM

On Tuesday, a father strapped his baby to his chest and jumped off a damn, killing her. The following morning, in another Australian city, a man set fire to a woman in her backyard - killing her as her 3 young children watched on #ViolenceAgainstWomen https://t.co/wsblsMtdLT

@ZoeGlatt @KathAlbury @Livingstone_S Hi @ZoeGlatt apologies I'm only just seeing this convo/thread now. I'm always happy to share my experience of juggling parenting and Phd - it was really hard but it was so worth it - please reach out if you'd like a chat about it.

’It’s not simply a case of the #MeToo movement all of a sudden enabling these stories to be told. It’s the banality of sexual assault that has enabled these testimonies to remain untold.’My article for Vogue re the dire truth that sexual assault is normal: https://t.co/E4bmYE2Ook

Here is a reality check for anyone who thinks women have achieved equal rights with men: One of the wealthiest nations in the world has jailed a woman for advocating for her right to drive a car! https://t.co/XfK7hrL96Q

In the car on the way to school this morning, my 5 year old says ‘mum if im going to learn any other language it’ll be Aboriginal. From the Aborigines who lived here’. I hope he can #Indigenouslanguage

May is domestic violence prevention month. Just in the last 14 days, 4 Australian women have been killed as a result of domestic violence. This is a national emergency. Please read their stories. https://t.co/woXUOfkOSZ

@MrDTJames Exactly the word I uttered ten minutes ago Daniel

To the key witnesses, to all the survivors who have ever spoken up and their allies who have raised their voices-we believe you, still. We stand beside you, still. https://t.co/JwkXMyTUoQ

‘Hannah Baxter was her name. She was the eighth woman in Australia to be killed by her partner in seven weeks.’ Thank you for this article @RachelConaghan_ https://t.co/Q2XL4yd0DU

This fills me with rage. Unless we recognise that this is patriarchal gendered violence, these murders will continue and so will the abhorrent media coverage that always follows.
