About this listen
In this powerful and accessible exploration of our legal systems, two human rights lawyers break open the big judgments, developments and trends that have and continued to silence and disadvantage women.
This book is about a movement. A movement made up of women and men around the world who are no longer afraid to speak out about violence, abuse, harassment, sexism, abuse of power and patriarchy. A movement which started with the courage of a number of women in the media and advertising industries and has spread across countries, industries and social class. This movement has uncovered the global scale of gender discrimination, sexual abuse and exploitation which women and girls face. As the years have passed, the movement has grown—with peaks of activity coinciding around the latest revelation of sexual harassment or abuse in the halls of power and in different industries—a domino effect in society. From Hollywood and #MeToo in 2017, to Iran and #IranMeToo in 2020, to the Women's March 4 Justice in Australia in 2021, women have spoken out about their experiences, sparking mass protests for change.
But, as with all social movements for change, there has been and there continues to be pushback. Those brave enough to speak out have faced legal threats from those they accuse in legal systems that protect the powerful and the patriarchy.

ALL women need to hear this!
This book was absolutely amazing.
I learned so much about the systemic, legal silencing of women from speaking out about sexual abuse, assault or harrassment.
This book literally changed my life!

A must read for anyone who is or has a daughter, sister, wife or mother.
An amazing insight into why gendered violence continues in all aspects of our culture and society, why progress feels too slow and why the patriarchy continues to silence women and protect men.

Such an important book.
I heard presentation by a specialist in financial abuse.
She stated that survivors of abuse downplay the abuse they suffered. In the same cases, the abuser will downplay their part in the abuse they impose upon their victims.
Without listening to any of the media reports, my bias meant that I was sympathetic to Johnny Depp. After finishing this book, I know that I was incorrect in my assumption.
Oh yes, even former Conservative Christian politician Colin Craig from NZ got a mention. Now there's a fall from grace. (faceplam)
Glad I spent the time finishing this book.
