A woman has been killed & a man taken into custody in Perth. She is the 5th woman killed in Australia in 10 days. Each woman has been killed in a different state. This is everyone’s responsibility. And we must act now. How many women must die before we escalate action & funding?

We are shocked and angry to read news reports of two more women’s lives needlessly cut short by violence. We extend our deepest condolences to their loved ones and communities. Four deaths in the span of just a few days. This is a national crisis that needs your attention.

A @theheraldsun cartoon published this week depicting Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan is sexist, harmful & tiresome. We are calling on the media to take accountability for the way it reports on & represents women. Read our joint statement here: respectvictoria.vic.gov.au/n… #VAWG
