98 women had been killed by violence in 2024, at the time of publishing. We know this, thanks to the tireless work of Sherele Moody, who runs the Australian Femicide Watch. She has been counting women and children killed by violence since she began the Red Heart Campaign in 2015. In fact, we wouldn’t know the names or the stories of many of these women, if it wasn’t for Sherele and her work.This week, Angela Priestley sits down with Sherele to discuss how she does her work, why she does it, and most importantly, how we - as women, as voters and as humans - can make sure her work can continue into the future.The Australian Femicide Watch: https://australianfemicidewatch.org/If you or someone you know is experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, domestic, family or sexual violence, call 1800RESPECT on 1800 737 732, text 0458 737 732 or visit 1800RESPECT.org.au for online chat and video call services.If you are concerned about your behaviour or use of violence, you can contact the Men’s Referral Service on 1300 766 491 or visit http://www.ntv.org.au.Feeling worried or no good?
