Australia's Devastating Week of Domestic Violence

Australia has suffered at least five domestic violence deaths in the last seven days. Way above our already appalling average.

We have two guests for today's episode:

Kylie Druett is a co-founder of Australian Voices for the Silenced, an advocacy organisation representing families affected by domestic violence-related homicides, and will speak about the long-term impact on those left behind.

Karen Bevan, CEO of Full Stop Australia, will discuss the recent spate of alleged domestic violence-related killings and what needs to change to better prevent and respond to domestic and family violence.
