Get behind this campaign to speed up legal reforms for sexual assault.
No more mistrials because jurors believe rape myths, and victim survivors traumatised by having to give testimony while the defendant doesn't have to speak.
Victims are not trial. We need change now.
Survivors & advocates have been leading the call for change for decades.
Multiple independent inquiries have recommended hundreds of specific reforms.
Attorneys-General have agreed to 3 areas of reforms - over the next 5 years.

I'm tired of people equating "insight" with "safety." I can't tell you how many times I've heard professionals say "If she understood, she'd leave the relationship." Like understanding is magic. We need interventions with perpetrators & partnerships with survivors.

While it is true, it takes two to tango, it only takes one perpetrator to wage a campaign of #CoerciveControl
All culpability belongs to the abuser. 💯 percent of it.
Victims stay because the abuse tactics work; they brought American POWs to their knees (Biderman, 1957)

As I've been advocating for some time - violence against women is a man's problem.
Abuse impacts victims, it is a problem for victims - but it is not a victims' problem.
To end violence against women & children, we must focus on reducing perpetration.

It’s often very lonely out there talking about male suicide, so I was so stoked to be able to stand beside my big bro @jonnoseidler and share our story for @TheWenty. #Mentalhealth

How should feminism be defined? I learned of a new feminist group this year, in which feminism was defined as the belief that people of all genders should have equal rights and opportunities. As aimed at equal rights for all genders. I'm troubled by these. 1/7

Men rape women because they can, because society allows it, because men feel entitled to rape women.
So why do some men perpetrate sexual violence against women? Because of gender socialisation and gender inequalities, in particular. Because of sexual entitlement and gender-inequitable social norms. Authoritative review of scholarship on perpetration: xyonline.net/sites/xyonline.… 2/3

Great piece on bbc news this morning re new study showing coercive control to be the biggest predictor of domestic abuse killings. Not new information, especially given the extensive work of @JMoncktonSmith - but great to see this highlighted on the news.

When the abusive person is a parent it means that they are a) betraying their “duty of care” and b) using their trusted, intimate role as a parent to supercharge their ability to create tremendous damage on so many levels #PivotToThePerpetrator @SafeandTogether #DVInformed
