Georgia Prideaux, a Kalgoorlie born unsung hero and the Deputy Chair and Board Member at the Department of the Attorney General and Justice in WA spoke to Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings about her inspiring life story. 

She has dedicated her life to speaking out and advocating for the rights of victims and a survivors of interpersonal violence, as at the age of 16 she was violently abused by an older man. 

"I grew up with domestic violence - my offender also had a rough childhood and we sort of clicked, he was older and when I moved in with him at first it was good. 

"The first time he hit me, I was leaving, I was not going to live with that but I was held in that house for quiet a few months - I left pregnant with a cracked cheekbone, bent wrist and tail bone so I vowed not to go back," Georgia told Gary. 

A year later, the same offender broke into her home, armed with a double barrel shot gun and 50 rounds of ammunition, where he then decided to bury Georgia a grave.
