Since appearing on @ABCthedrum last week discussing @ANROWS community attitudes about violence against women, it's troubling to see people writing to say "both sides" are responsible. When men are literally MURDERING women often, there's no "both sides" to this debate. #TheDrum

Immensely proud of this new partnership. Gender-based inequality and violence have to be addressed. It must be. And universities like Victoria University can be a big part of the solution.

One of the ways we can stop violence against women before it starts is by working within our school system. Respectful relationships education uses the education system as a catalyst for change to create a future free from violence @MonashGFV canberratimes.com.au/story/7…

We send condolences to the family & friends of WA woman Sajida Tasneem, allegedly murdered overseas by her father-in-law on June 11. A respected community member, Ms Tasneem leaves behind three children. We must continue to speak out against violence & take action to prevent it.
