We're thrilled to share that Share the Dignity volunteers in Albury have delivered our first Dignity bags from the November drive aimed at ending period poverty. The year-round support from Share the Dignity means so much to us—it allows us to keep providing these essential items to the people who need them. From all of us, and especially from the women and girls whose lives are touched by this generosity, a huge THANK YOU to Share the Dignity.

Medical misogyny could make history—but only if YOU vote.
Right now, "medical misogyny" is on the shortlist for the Macquarie Dictionary's 2025 Word of the Year. This isn't just about adding a definition—it's about legitimizing the experiences of countless women whose pain has been dismissed, whose symptoms have been ignored, and whose voices have been silenced in healthcare settings.
When we name something, we give it power. When the dictionary recognizes "medical misogyny," it validates what so many have endured and strengthens our collective ability to demand better.
Your vote matters. Cast it here: https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/vote-now-word-of-the-year-2025/
⏰ Voting closes this Sunday, November 23rd at 11:59 PM. Don't let this moment pass.

Yesterday, the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence 2025 Yearly Report was tabled in Parliament. Led by Commissioner Micaela Cronin, this report provides critical advice to government to ensure the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 (National Plan) will deliver on its commitment to end gender-based violence within a generation by 2050. Three years into the ten-year plan, the Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Commission report contains five key insights that need to shape how we work going forward:
* Prevention must begin in childhood.
* The most effective solutions come from those affected by violence.
* Our systems must stop working in silos.
* Our institutions must move from control to care.
* Safety must be a right, not a privilege.

This is a very real problem with our young people today, with regards to "decentralised online crime networks", targeting our young people, especially our young girls, this is another form of gender based violence. The more we call it out, the better we can protect our young people. We need to ensure our young people feel safe online, by having open conversations with the young people in our lives.
