Hate speech, much?
Probably doesn't lead to violence, right?
No need to do anything about that then!
1. You are right
2. Alleged perps are kids. Media make children out to be huge crims. Apparently we need as many kids in jail as possible rather than dealing with issues facing families etc
3. This young man died trying to help a kid in danger. "Innocent" doesn't begin to cover it
The IWD theme is NOT this bollocks. This rip off company tries to make money out of women feel guilty about having a day for ourselves.
If this make you reject IWD, maybe take to look at the UN's website before deciding.
Having said all that, if I see one more pink cupcake...

Funding for frontline FDSV services is still only 80% of what the sector has spent a decade calling for.
That's 1 in 5 women being turned away.
If this government can afford to hand $368b to Trump for AUKUS submarines, why canβt they afford to fully fund women and childrenβs safety?
He's gone too far (again) this time. There's no way back

It's deliberate. Police are enablers of male violence. Over and over and over again, police fail victims of FDSV. At the very least, they make it worse.
We need Safer Ways to report & responders skilled & experienced in IDing aggressors. Police response funds must be reallocated to FDSV services

Tired, anxious, stressed, traumatised etc? I don't want to think about how aging may play a role in my own case with all of the above. Today I had to fill in lots of govt forms & set up a debit card in my phone wallet. Even the 60+ bank CSO laughed at me. I wonder if things got harder or is it me?

We sort our recycling & drink through soggy straws because it is who we are, its our values. We hope that together we'll make a difference.
They blow up the planet because of who they are.
We need to vote in a way that reflects our values and who we are
NSW can solve this problem by increasing the F&DV response budget by 50%. It's a political choice that saves lives, & keeps women & kids safe from ongoing violence. It's a choice. Out from behind the paywall thanks SMH #chrisminns

Make that ANOTHER defining moment this week. Many #difficultwomen are already making plans about who else to vote for now that we know for sure how Albo feels about us & our strident claims for safety for ourselves & our kids. We can't afford it, right? More of a "nice to have" option, really?
