Well that’s interesting #mvawc data! Used to be younger men were focused on as primary abusers. Are these the same men grown up? 'Stronger policing & proactive detection' have led to more offenders being brought to justice.’ 7 news

Personally I wish it also included attempted murder, severe injury or whatever each states law calls it. And for me, the data demands a focus on #MVAWC

Those of us who were progressive parents are glad to see that we might’ve had an impact assisting in facilitating progressive kids who care about environment etc.
(my double barreled kid is not at all an activist nor interested in Green politics. Keen to make change in #MVAWC tho)
My work background too, though in recent decades more policy focused so v familiar with the National Plan etc. I’m always glad to see focus and discussion that might lead to ⬆️⬆️increased funding, whether it’s because of elections &/or realistic data or analysis about the horrors of (mostly) #MVAWC
There should be hundreds of men instead of 3-4 who regularly, publicly strongly speak out on men’s violence of all kinds against women & children, #MVAWC
It’s shameful that there isn’t, where the bloody hell are you guys?

You are so lucky.
For many women and kids, cricket or other men’s ball sports on in the background implies potential abuse and violence that night. #MVAWC
Same. I think issue w what # is used. Frustrating. I use #mvaw #mvawg #mvawc #domesticabuse #DV #rape #sexualcrime and many others.
Have been stuck on Bruce Lehrmann defamation case thread at the bad place for some days.
Unfortunately it still offers best opportunities for engagement & learning about #MVAWC and live experiences.
Yes I feel guilty being there.
