‘Most Australians aren’t shouting on social media. They’re quietly hoping their daughter and grandchildren make it home safely from a custody swap, that their neighbour gets the help she needs, and that the system won’t fail them if they ever need to ask for help. Safety shouldn’t depend on where you live, how much you earn, or who you know. But right now, for too many women, it still does.’ Very well said Elena Rosenman and Legal Services Australia (fb)
