About this Episode
How many more women have to die before we accept that what we’re doing isn’t enough? In this deeply personal solo episode, Rose Davidson shares what led her to write and formally submit an open letter to the Prime Minister of Australia calling for stronger national action on domestic and family violence. She reflects on the patterns that can sit behind violence, the reforms she believes deserve national attention, and why information, accountability and leadership matter. More than a discussion about policy, this is an episode about refusing to stay silent when something needs to change.
