The Hidden Numbers Behind Femicide and Child Death in Australia

The Hidden Numbers Behind Femicide and Child Death in Australia

You can’t discuss true crime in Australia without talking about violence against women and children.

Journalist Sherele Moody has spent years documenting these tragic cases through the Australian Femicide and Child Death Map.

Sherele's passion for the issue was born of many of her own experiences, including the crimes of her own stepfather, and she joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about the hidden numbers and the people behind them.
