Jess Hill - Losing It (Quarterly Essay) (SOLD OUT)

About
Jess Hill joins us in conversation with Lisa McAdams to discuss what it will take to stop gendered violence!Australian governments promised to end violence against women and children in a single generation. Instead, it is escalating: men have been murdering women at an increased rate, coercive control and sexual violence are becoming more complex and severe.
In Losing It, Jess Hill investigates Australia's National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children to find out what's working and what's not – and what we can do to turn things around. This compassionate, groundbreaking essay lifts the lid on a national crisis.
"Each time a woman or child was murdered, I felt a gnawing sense of urgency. If it's everybody's responsibility to prevent violence, where does the buck stop?"
Jess Hill is an investigative journalist, has won three Walkley Awards, an Amnesty International Award, the Stella Prize and was 2024 NSW Woman of Excellence.
