A Feminist World

Why are the 9 top selling books in the UK about women being murdered? Is reflecting what is prevalent in our society or it does literature focused on femicide normalise it?

A woman being murdered for entertainment! Normalizing Femicide? Or psychological preparation for domestic violence, coercion and control that women are victims of.

Brilliant article
Men feeding off the work of women, yet again! The new “woke” man diving into women’s issues when they should be addressing men’s violence and misogyny.🧍‍♂️Men go do the real work, challenge men in the Mano sphere. Hunt them down like they hunt down feminists.

Mary Magdalene was known as the Apostle of the Apostles. For centuries the Christian church lied in an attempt to diminish Mary as the pr******te. Mary was not only Jesus’s partner. She was the head of the church of Christianity. Not Paul, not Peter.

Today is the feast of Mary Magdalene. Denounced as a pr******te (which she was not), denied her status as the apostle to the apostles for centuries until 1969. Her story is the story of all women under patriarchy, all of us made to get back into our boxes until most of us forgot that the boxes were....

**⚠️ CRITICAL AUSALERT**

“Three Australian women killed in four days. All allegedly by men.

This is a national emergency and immediate action is required.

Government funding is not commensurate with the scale of the problem, institutions continue to victim-blame through harmful media narratives, and not all men see the role they play in shaping the culture that underpins male violence.

Australia, we must do better.

Authorised by Tarang Chawla and all people who are tired of male violence robbing victims and their families of their dignity and humanity”

Tatang Chawla

Three women in four days. It's the predictable output of a culture we've all been swimming in, and the funding still doesn't come close to matching the scale. The "not all men" reflex is part of it: an exit from the conversation at the exact moment men need to stay in it.

Credit to Tarang Chawla, who has been saying this for years and shouldn't have to.
Australia, we must do better.

HAVE YOUR SAY AND MAKE IT COUNT.

The Second Action Plan under the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 is now open for public consultation. This is the framework that shapes how Australia funds, prevents and responds to family, domestic and sexual violence for the next five years.

We write about femicide. We share the statistics. We grieve the women whose names become hashtags. Here is a rare moment where our voices are formally invited into the rooms where decisions get made.

You don't need credentials. You don't need to be a policy expert. Lived experience, frontline knowledge, community insight — it all counts, and they are explicitly asking for it.

✅ Short survey — minutes of your time
🎙️ Audio submission — speak it if you can't write it
💻 Webinars — register and be in the room

⏰ Closes 31 July 2026. That's days away, not months.

This morning I saw this clip of Carrie and Tommy talking about periods on their show : https://www.instagram.com/reels/Da2XWQHPZiv/ and I could not believe what I was hearing from the mother who called in to the show.

As a mum, a grandmother, a woman, and the Founder of Share the Dignity, I believe no child should feel frightened or ashamed when they get their first period.

We need to stop whispering about periods. Too many young people are still growing up feeling embarrassed, unprepared, or ashamed of a completely natural part of life.

Especially as our Bloody Big Survey 2024 revealed that many Australian children are starting menstruation earlier than people realise, from as young as eight years old. That means period education can't wait until high school, and conversations about periods shouldn't be treated as taboo.

Periods are not something to be hidden, and let's be clear: periods are not sexual.

They are a normal, healthy biological process.

The answer isn't avoiding the conversation. The answer is having more of them. With girls and with boys.

Because education creates understanding, understanding creates confidence, and confidence changes lives.

For anyone worried about how to have age-appropriate conversations with their kids about periods, I urge you to check out our Education Hub with resources that can help you start the conversation: https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/end-period-poverty/education-hub.

Thank you to Carrie and Tommy for speaking so openly about periods on the radio 🩷

The more openly we talk about periods, the more empowered young people are to understand their bodies and seek support when they need it.

Let's normalise the conversation, challenge the stigma, and ensure no one feels ashamed of having a period 💕
