As a victim survivor of domestic abuse & then retraumatised all over again by the family court system. We desperately need this to happen in Australia. Transparency matters. ⬇️
Now the reporting restrictions have been lifted on family court cases and journalists can now report on them, expect to see some of the most harrowing, mind-boggling, ridiculous, biased, dangerous, discriminatory and abusive practices being reported on that you’ve ever heard in your entire life.
Stories of children and women what will make you genuinely question reality.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Thousands of children have been impacted by these totally unregulated and dangerous courts- it’s about time we lifted the lid.

The monster myth: Tom Meagher on the myths about the men who assault and rape women, myths that allow us to ignore that most rapists are normal guys, guys we might work beside or socialise with, our neighbours or even members of our family.

Men are more likely to use violence against women if they hold attitudes that condone, minimise, excuse, or justify that violence. This is evident in 4 recent meta-analyses and systematic analyses, p. 36 of new report.
Sexual violence is shaped by ‘hostile masculinity’.

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women:
13. Realise that the men who abuse and coerce women are *ordinary* men. Men *you know*.
The men who hurt women are not a tiny number of mad bad men, but a large number of everyday men in the community

In my private counselling practice I work with women who’ve escaped FV/DV & who’ve been ‘directed’ to see these so-called professionals; the damage is untold. UNTOLD. Been there myself, lived experience. I hear you & all women who have been subjected to this horrific experience.
Social Worker April Gourlay told me I was the problem because it was me and my behaviours attracting abusive men. Apparently I was the cause, and responsible for the abuse I was experiencing.
No.
April Gourlay was not qualified in family violence & she was not trauma informed.

I’ll join you @SaxonAdair
Hey @GWSGIANTS I can see you need a bit more training - need me to come in and describe the worst moments of my life in great detail so you feel like survivors are people?

A 46-year-old woman has been murdered in Pokolbin, NSW. Her male partner is charged. She is the 61st Australian woman killed this year. ♥️
Not just in France…good on ya Straya…#rape
Just in case anyone thinks that men’s perpetration of sexual violence, using drugs and alcohol to immobilise, make vulnerable, or overpower women and then rape them and film this, is exclusive to France, here is a story from Australia: abc.net.au/news/2024-09-26/a…

“Tasmania police says it is moving away from an incident-based approach to family violence, and instead trying to better understand a broader picture of the situation and what has led to it.”

People are not def not ok.
Misogyny in Australia is a national sport.
So sorry @Milliganreports that you have been subjected to such appalling behaviour. Pathetic ‘humans’ & I use the term loosely.
Every time stats such as these are released, apart from continuing to be horrified, that visceral reaction comes back reminding me of how close I came to being killed. How damn close.
Important report released today by the NSW Coroner. The investigative review includes 550 domestic violence related homicides. Of these cases:
🚩 56% were intimate partner homicides
🚩 in 80% of DV-related homicides husbands, boyfriends, & male exes were the killers,
🚩 most male killers deployed at least 3 types of abuse against women - physical, social, economic, stalking & sexual violence,
🚩 almost two-thirds of the 244 partner homicides involved a man killing his female partner in the context of relationship separation.
When women kill, they almost always kill their abuser.

The ongoing trauma which post-separation abuse creates is next level. It’s as much of a horror show as ‘being’ with the perpetrator prior to escaping.
Post-separation abuse is destroying lives, yet it's often invisible to the courts. From using joint assets as leverage to manipulating children, abusers are finding new ways to exert control. The legal system must evolve to recognize and address these tactics. #EndDomesticAbuse

I can’t stop thinking about Carol, Louise & Hannah Hunt & their last moments alive.
We urgently need violent & abusive men to be treated as the terrorists that they are - they terrorize, abuse & kill women & children.
STOP these ridiculous & distracting male centric narratives. Stop with the ‘nice guy’ & crossbow obsession. FOCUS on the actual problem: male violence to women @YvetteCooperMP @jessphillips
