May. 15th, 2018 06:21 pmLandmark report reveals a woman dies every week due to Australia's domestic violence crisis (ABC, 28 February 2018). That report is: Family, domestic and sexual violence in Australia, 2018
What if we knew domestic violence was a cause of suicide? (SMH, 6 November 2017). "A new report by the NSW Domestic Violence Deaths Review team shows a connection between those who take their own lives and who have also experienced family violence as a victim, a perpetrator, even a witness. Just under 40 per cent of all the suicides in the study were known to police because of domestic violence. Nearly half – and that proportion held true for men, who are mostly the perpetrators, and for women, who are mostly the victims."
The #MeToo survivors we forgot (USA Today, 19 April 2018). "A Me Too-style movement could help debunk common myths about domestic abuse, as well as pressure the criminal and legal systems to make things easier for the victims, not the abusers, advocates say."
Change The Course: National Report on Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at Australian Universities (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2017)
Sexual Victimization by Women Is More Common Than Previously Known (Scientific American, October 2017). (Importantly, this isn't an attempt to discredit feminism, nor to shift the spotlight away from female victims of sexual assault.)
