14% of Australian females smoke. 17% of females over 15 have been sexually assaulted. Over the last 20 years the rate of adult daily smokers has decreased from 24% to 14% due to an abundance of public education and health campaigns.Imagine what we could do if we put the same money and resources into education and campaigns about consent and sexual assault...Here at R4Respect, we aim to be a part of the movement to make Australia a nation against sexual assault and violence.#sexualconsent #consenteducation #r4respect ...

Margz Smetheram, Wendy Sleeman and Trish Lambourne were all killed in 2023 by their own children.Child to parent violence is a gendered crime – victims are more likely to be female and the perpetrators male.In addition to the abuse, mothers say their homes are destroyed, nerves are shredded, social life and employment end and savings are stolen by their children. However, a natural reluctance to have your child criminalised leaves few options.Many mothers don’t even recognise that they are living with abuse because they’ve learned to walk on eggshells.Matricide is rising as the cost of living rises, housing crisis, lack of support for mental illness and lack of sufficient training in recognising who is at risk.If you or anyone you know is struggling please call 1800 RESPECT.

To continue on from the theme of IWD, let's discuss Technology Facilitated Abuse (TFA). Technology-facilitated gender-based violence doesn't end when women log off.It results in tangible;❌physical,❌sexual,❌psychological,❌social,❌political❌and/or economic harm.In the online sphere, gender-based violence also forces women and girls to self-censor and deplatform, limiting their ability to engage and participate virtually.

IWD is a day to recognise how far we’ve come towards gender equality, and also how far we have left to go. Back in 1911, only 8 countries allowed women to vote, equal pay for equal work was unheard of – if women were allowed to work at all – and reproductive rights were non-existent.Now, even once laws and rights are established, they are ignored anyway. Despite domestic violence laws, public awareness and access to legal protections, Australian men are still killing women partners or exes at the rate of one every 6 days. Women of the world want and deserve an equal future free from stigma, stereotypes and violence. A future that’s sustainable, peaceful, with equal rights and opportunities for all.#internationalwomensday #IWDA #IWD2023 #genderequalfuture #equalrights #opportunitiesforall ... See MoreSee Less
