Listen "Respect: Confronting Violence & Abuse"
Episode Synopsis
Our host Julie Macken is back to discuss the endemic that is Family & Domestic Violence with direct mention to JPO's Tri-Diocesan Event surrounding the topic. Julie reviews the 2022-2023 Social Justice Statement - Respect: Confronting Violence & Abuse with particular attention drawn to Rose Batty, 2015 Australian of the Year, and her personal experiences and report on Family & Domestic Violence. Specifically, how it is a gendered issue with gender inequalities within our society as the driving force behind perpetrators and the aggressive patriarchal function and belief that Men are in fact better than Women. Furthermore, Julie brings light to the current treatment of Brittany Higgins and the obscene objectification on behalf of Australian politics, the coalition and Murdoch Media; solidifying the deep-rooted and ever so apparent shame associated with speaking up and reaching out. -------The Justice & Peace Office invites you to reflect upon and discuss the 2022-2023 Social Justice Statement - Respect: Confronting Violence & Abuse on the evening of July 26th alongside an esteemed panel of guest speakers, abuse survivors and advocates. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/tri-diocesan-social-justice-evening-2023-tickets-653360527927
