Not sure what’s better: the wonderful Family Violence Workforce Industry Plan; the fabulous team that co-created it; or the visionary Victorian government that made it possible. Proud to be Victorian! https://t.co/XbnDYcgl8b @ https://t.co/XbnDYcgl8b. VicGovAu @FutureSocialAU

From @JaneTribune - FixedIt: The sexist headlines that needed fixing in 2017 https://t.co/PRNPTUqCW5 via @DailyLifeAU

Invisible perpetrators and blameable victims. Sexualised young women and erased older women. Ridiculous stereotypes and contemptuous dismissals.

Thank you for all of your support of @rape_dvservices this year. Last week, the Senate concluded its inquiry into the operation of 1800RESPECT and published a report with their recommendations. The report indicates considerable agreement with our concerns: https://t.co/juJ6THLroo

@safestepsFV Victim-survivors are being wrongly charged with family violence offences and are wrongly having protection orders taken out against them #anzsoc2017 @GeVARA_RMIT
