I would like to pay tribute to @AimeeCooper215 @kamnamm @VicLegalAid and the 100 orgs of #power2prevent coalition, who proved old fashioned collective action works. @AusHumanRights sexual harassment inquiry could be a game changer...but we have to make its recs a reality.
These are the words of our @VicLegalAid clients who bravely shared their stories to create change. This #IWD2020 we're calling for urgent action to create sexual harassment free workplaces in Australia. Too many of us have experienced sexual harassment #metoo #power2prevent

This Sunday is #IWD2020. Let it be a reminder to men that the lived experience of women is different. Let it be a reminder that as much as Australia prides itself on egalitarianism, ours is an unequal society that privileges men at almost every turn.

The Harvey Weinstein case put the spotlight on non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases. NDAs were considered during the @AusHumanRights national inquiry into workplace sexual harassment, and we will be releasing our final report shortly.

In failing to convict Weinstein on the “predatory” nature of his conduct, the jury illustrated that they, like others, are still unwilling to look at the structures and enablers that help men like Weinstein become “predators”. Work to do. Me @smh @theage smh.com.au/national/weinstei…

"The system still mostly fails survivors. Women who are poor, of color, who come forward alone — especially these women — will continue to be disbelieved and blamed....But the Weinstein verdicts indicate that we are beginning to correct course." nytimes.com/2020/02/24/opini…

Today is a victory for the #SilenceBreakers who refused to be silent about Weinstein, igniting a global reckoning.
It’s a victory for survivors everywhere - and for all those who believe in justice.

To prevent violence against women, we need a shared, consistent and mutually reinforcing approach, where all levels of government, business and the community contribute to creating a safer Australia built upon respect and equality. #HannahBaxter #PVAW

"The media intrigue in our trauma felt insensitive, and responding to journalists’ questions trivial when our mother’s body still lay in the morgue." Resharing this piece by @NourHaydar and thinking of Hannah Baxter and her children 💔 #domesticviolence @FemWritersFest
Some reporting on the murder of Hannah Baxter and her 3 children has been maddening but not surprising. I wrote this piece on the importance of language when discussing domestic and family violence after my mum was murdered. feministwritersfestival.com/… @OurWatchAus

Genteel toxic masculinity was found in corners that know the lingo yet engaged in discriminatory and abusive behaviour. It was received as feelings of being listened to but not heard; of being placated, rather than taken seriously. @BroadAgenda5050 broadagenda.com.au/home/gent…
