The podcast episode explores safety, rights, and justice for people with disability in Australia, and the urgent need for systems that truly protect and uphold human rights. Sam Drummond speaks with Rosie Putland, an Autistic advocate, who shares her experiences navigating discrimination and the justice system. Rosie reflects on how some supports designed for victim survivors were, at times, more accessible and inclusive for her - highlighting how thoughtful approaches can better serve diverse needs.


Also featured is Kate Eastman SC, human rights lawyer and former Disability Royal Commission Commissioner, who calls for a deeper, rights-based understanding of safety - one that centers dignity, autonomy, and justice for people with disability.

Researcher Jen Hargrave joins the conversation to discuss the prevalence of violence against women with disability, and the critical role of self-advocacy and peer support in driving change.
