Men's violence traumatising families daily;children & women dying as a result. Thank you @billshortenmp .Can we also talk about integrity of data on men's violence. Governments need real data to invest properly in recovery, prevention and breaking cycles. Pls can we talk.

[Bill Shorten @billshortenvcuc]

Women and children in this country deserve to be safe physically. Please read my piece in @thenightlyau on this crisis that we all need to pay attention to and act on. https://t.co/yIrPAJhEKG

Celebrating dream partnership btwn @jodipicoult
& @JennyBoylan in #MadHoney . Sensitive portrayal of young trans people. No denying of people's lives (unlike some other well known authors or bazillionaires). Love, hope & the essential narrative arc.

Boys, we need to talk: As women die violently, too many can’t see a problem
(But boys *can* be given the skills to navigate relationships, jealousy, break-ups, and everything else that life throws at them without needing to dominate and control.)

4 drivers of gendered abuse
1Condoning violence vs women
2Men controlling decision making in public life & relationships
3Rigid gender roles & stereotypes of masculinity & femininity
4Male peer relations emphasising aggression & disrespect towards women https://t.co/ChXM8j6aRF

@ADanielOAM @DV_NSW It's very clear that intimate partner violence and family violence knows no postcode.

[Yvette Vignando @yvettevignando]

NSW needs specialist domestic and family violence courts, now. My call for urgent action to save women's and children's lives. #domesticviolence #women's safety #childrenssafety

“We will wear you down with our capacity to love.” Words of such power and grace from ABC journalist Stan Grant, as he sends a message to his abusers. This is well worth three minutes of your time, wherever you live in the world. https://t.co/VECMTJLguT

@Chrys_Stevenson @TraceySpicer And you!

[Yvette Vignando @yvettevignando]

Congrats @traceyspicer on the launch of #ManMade . Very interested to read the chapter about #AI and #DomesticViolence .

[Yvette Vignando @yvettevignando]

@antoinette_news All of you so eloquent and generous 🌻

The first computer programmer was Ada Lovelace who was the daughter of Lord Byron. Thanks for that insight @Chrys_Stevenson #manmade

[Tracey Spicer AM GAICD @TraceySpicer]

AI innovations need data sets. HUGE data sets. The data set is biased because it's based on OLD thinking. So machine learning, AI, exacerbates the bigotry. @manmade

[Yvette Vignando @yvettevignando]

@eveharrington Oh no. Get yourself a consolation jar from Woollies.

[Yvette Vignando @yvettevignando]

@AnneHollonds @MarkDreyfusKCMP Thank you for tireless advocacy. Unbelievable that Australia hasn't seen the light on this yet.

Read this: how keeping kids safe and connected to family & culture is critical to their wellbeing, and is consistent with the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
