Amanda Rishworth is the federal Social Services Minister. Two years ago her department released an ambitious strategy to end domestic violence against women and their children in a generation. Recently, the Albanese government commissioned a rapid review with practical advice on further action to prevent gender-based violence.

Is all of this enough to curb the distressing increase in domestic violence homicides we’ve seen in 2024? Join There’s No Place Like Home's Executive Producer Sally Spicer for a special bonus episode on what that rapid review has dubbed a national emergency.

Ask any woman and she’ll tell you about a time when she was too something. At work, women are suffocated by stereotypes about who we should be and how we should behave.

In FW’s new podcast, Too Much, join Helen McCabe as she speaks with high-achieving women who bucked trends, disrupted systems and refused to quit. Women who built careers by forging their own paths.

The discourse around intimate partner violence can feel dispiriting and, sometimes, it can be hard to stay hopeful. But we need to hold on to hope. Hope for a better way forward. Hope for a future where this country is safe for everyone.

In the final episode of There’s No Place Like Home season two, we turn our focus squarely to what we can do. To the hope and possibility that comes from putting into action what we’ve learned from victim-survivors and experts.

Tech-facilitated abuse can be overt. Think threatening phone calls or incessant messages. Or it can be covert, where an abuser monitors their partner’s online activity, hacks their emails or tracks their location through apps and ‘find my phone’ services, or even sends threatening messages via internet banking.

In a rapidly evolving world, what does technologically-facilitated abuse look like? And where can you go for help?

We’ve all been jealous at some point in our lives. But there is a unique kind of jealousy specific to abusive partners. It’s the kind of jealousy that manifests in forms of abuse we’ve already discussed this season, like gaslighting and isolation. Experts dub it “sexual jealousy”, and they say it’s about entitlement, not love.

So how do you tell the difference?

Gaslighting is the process of denying someone’s experience and what they believe to be true. In the last few years, it’s become part of our vernacular. In fact, in 2022, it was one of the most Googled words in the world.

But what is it? How do you spot it, how do we understand its true impact? And what do you do if it's happening to you, or someone you care about?
