Years ago, working at a servo. 3am, a woman ran into the shop in obvious distress, with 2 small children, having fled #DV. When I offered to call the police, her fear was real: "No! Don't! He's mates with the police. They'll tell him where we are!" Believe women. #EnoughIsEnough #VAW #auspol #auslaw

At this coming Australian Federal election, could we please vote in the interests of the vulnerable rather than the powerful? (This includes the planet and vulnerable species.) Please. 🙏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #CostOfLivingCrisis #poverty #HousingCrisis #DV #VAW #WelcomeRefugees #ClimateAction

A 59yo woman was murdered today. She is the 101st Australian woman killed in 2024. I fear our media is mostly silent on this crisis bc the media is mostly owned by men and celebrates blokey-dope sexist, misogynistic men as TV, radio & newspaper "personalities" or sports stars. 😔 📺 📻 📰 #VAW #DV

Australian women are being murdered. 13 women in 2025 so far. The mainstream news media rarely reports it, if at all. (Do a Google search of her name.) #DV #VAW #auslaw Thanks @sherelemoody.bsky.social. 😔

I haven't heard either the PM or the OL condemn the ongoing crisis of violence against women in Australia or suggest any action whatsoever. Thanks to @sherelemoody.bsky.social for keeping us informed. #auspol #VAW #DV

Australian women will never be safe while people like Matt Canavan and Alex Antic remain in our parliaments. #auspol #VAW #VAC #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

there is a national register of DV offenders in Australia. But its kept secret. Women cannot access this information to find out if the bloke she is dating has a history of violence. Its fking madness. Make this public. If the govt refuses to protect women, let us protect ourselves #auspol #VAW

Can you imagine the media coverage if gay men were murdering straight men in the numbers that Australian women are being murdered, mostly by straight men known to them? Yet this terrifying crisis is being mostly ignored. 😔 #VAW Data: @sherelemoody.bsky.social

Luigi Mangione has been charged with murder and terrorism in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Maybe we could start charging men who murder women with gender-based terrorism. 🤔 #DV #VAW #femicide

Man sentenced to 4 years for DV abuse (incl. stalking, assault, burglary and 2 incidents of choking) yet immediately walks free with a suspended sentence. The Australian justice system is broken. #DV #VAW #ausjustice www.theguardian.com/austr….
