“If I’ve helped lift the lid on something that has been a dirty secret throughout previous generations and shifted that into a conversation where people are able to learn and understand it more, then that’s a big thing in itself,” says 2015 Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, in our International Women’s Day edition.
“I realise I haven’t reversed statistics – it’s potentially gotten worse – but as people understand they’re in a violent situation or they’re in an abusive relationship, they have more confidence to reach out to get support and help.”
In a powerful Letter to My Younger Self interview, Rosie talks about the gift of motherhood, the power of self-belief and why we need real systematic change to end domestic violence.
