About this listen
What will it take to stop gendered violence? What went wrong? Australian governments promised to end violence against women and children in a single generation. Instead, it is escalating: men have been murdering women at an increased rate, coercive control and sexual violence are becoming more complex and severe, and we see a marked rise in youth-on-youth sexual assault. Why? In Losing It, Jess Hill investigates Australia's National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children to find out what's working and what's not – and what we can do to turn things around. This compassionate, groundbreaking essay lifts the lid on a national crisis.

brilliant analysis of an urgent issue
for years, jess hill's work in this area has been vital. in this essay, she elucidates the ways in which violence against women & children is actually increasing in australia despite our apparently groundbreaking national policy aiming to get rid of it within a generation, and summarises the content of the second draft of that policy, which she co-led.
she calls for the govt to do more than voice support for the measures recommended in second draft. i hope her writing & advocacy on these issues, along with the important work of the many front line workers, leaders & academics she interviews, will shift the dial. while some of the stories she shares detail extreme violence, i find most devastating her stats showing just how broadly the aust community is affected by childhood trauma, insecure attachment and shame.
a must read for all australians.
