The Age headline: American troops killed in action as US sinks naval ships; missiles pound the Middle East

Still no headline about 150 Iranian girls killed by a targeted US/ Israel attack on their school. The ‘troops’ chose war. Those girls couldn’t even choose life.

It's not enough to just "add consent and stir" to the curriculum. We simply cannot afford to get this wrong. The potential for harmful outcomes is too great

RRE that hasn't been rigorously evaluated may reinforce harmful myths, give a false sense of safety (e.g. "we've covered consent, so we've fixed that problem"), can normalise harmful behaviour instead of challenging it, and critically, can harm student victim-survivors

It's not just that RRE - or so-called "consent education" - programs that haven't been evaluated might not actually be any good that should concern us. It's that there's a good chance that they're actively harmful

The rapid review found that “while there is increasing uptake of RRE in Australian schools, many school-based RRE initiatives have not been rigorously evaluated and/or the evaluations are not publicly accessible”.

Exclusive: Government spends $41m on consent education with no framework Four years after promising a framework on consent education in schools, the government is still sitting on a key report and its working group has lost half its members.

"Meantime, four of the eight experts appointed to the expert advisory group have left. Our Watch chief executive Patty Kinnersly is no longer chair but is still part of the group. The department has not published communiqués from the group’s past two meetings."

So gross and so predictable

I guess she wasn't "difficult" when he could use her for his election campaign

look at his face after he says difficult. Does that look like the reaction of someone solemnly acknowledging someone's hard life?

jesus christ

won't somebody think of the people who answer the phones 😭

Wing! We're so lucky to have you!!

Apparently they should and we should all be grateful for them

Way back in 2017, then-Social Services Christian Porter told the media I was "grossly irresponsible" because I said that sexual assault victim-survivors deserved to have calls made to 1800RESPECT answered by specialist trauma counsellors.

I've been 'difficult' & 'grossly irresponsible' ever since

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

When a young woman is raped by two friends, her small town turns against her A local footy star and his mate are convicted of raping their friend. In the tiny town of Balmoral, where the footy club reigns, the town makes it clear whose story they believe.

A harrowing story. Atrocious for Lisa, a medical professional, to intervene so completely to help reduce jail time for two rapists.

The state govt & Our Watch co-convened the South Australian Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Prevention Forum last week. But one panel in particular, entitled “Executive Leadership in Action" raised eyebrows, given it featured Anna Moeller, the CEO of an alcohol & gambling industry lobby group.

The names of the 11 'ISIS brides' trying to leave Syria to come to Australia The ABC can reveal the names of the 11 women connected to former Islamic State fighters in Syria who attempted to journey home to Australia this week.

“ISIS brides’ is such a demeaning moniker that banishes these women and their children to hell. The misogyny and racism in this whole thing, readily amplified by the PM, is gross.

I've spent the past few days researching the scale of unmet need for people who have experienced domestic, family or sexual violence, and mates, the stats are fucking grim.

If you reckon that govts should fund safety services with as much enthusiasm as they fund sports & subs, let them know now 👇🏻

Last week, the federal government committed $3.9B to a new submarine shipyard with funding guaranteed for decades, yet women’s safety services remain overstretched and underfunded. Let’s demand the long-term funding women needs before ministers meet tomorrow.
