Penny tries to work out whether a person’s gender changes the way we feel about the way they behave and if it influences the way we react. We’ll hear how we can impact change from both top-down and bottom-up?

BONUS: What do we need to know to speak up safely? S3 E5.

In episode four we move from reactive processes to prevention as we prepare to have the necessary awkward conversations that come with calling-out bad behaviour.  We’ll hear real examples of what can happen when we call out disrespectful behaviour and get some practical tips for doing it well. Plus, we learn how to be good listeners to make sure we can have disclosure conversations that are useful.

Are we willing to have the awkward conversation? S3 E4

We know sexual harassment is common, yet most of us will never hear about the consequences for people or organisations who have done the wrong thing. In episode three Penny finds out what the real costs are for people or organisations who are caught. You’ll hear about the personal, professional, emotional, and financial implications while learning the legal options for those wanting to take action.

Getting past the barriers to reporting sexual harassment. S3 E2

Do you know what is or isn’t sexual harassment?  In our first episode of season three, expect to hear many different examples as we start to understand the law and why sometimes sexual harassment might not ‘feel’ illegal.  Penny talks with women who’ve experienced sexual harassment, with lawyers and with advocates as she attempts to understand the grey areas, the tips, and the ‘subjective test’.

Is sexual harassment REALLY illegal? S3 E1

Could you confidently say what sort of behaviour is or isn’t sexual harassment? Is it touching? Innuendo? Banter? What about an email?  Plus, would you do anything about it? Yeah, it’s tricky. That’s why Rule of Thumb is coming back for Season Three – so we can all better understand the law, the stories, the impacts, the consequences, the systems, and the solutions. Penny Terry brings you stories from women who’ve been through it, lawyers who work on the cases, and ideas from a whole list of others who are keen to see change happen quickly.

Season Three coming!

We think that we’d notice if there was physical violence in a relationship and say something don’t we? In the final episodes of Season 2 of Rule of Thumb we learn that there is lot about the physical abuse that we might not see. Most people have long understood that physical violence is never ok, and have perhaps thought family violence was only about physical abuse. Yet, many people still won’t notice the signs or know what to do to check in with someone who may be experiencing physical abuse or call out this behaviour. In this episode we hear women, their lawyers and counsellors describe the physical abuse experienced by women. This episode is tough going, but in listening we get a much better understanding of what we can all do to take effective bystander action on family violence.

Why you may not notice or call out physical abuse

To be ‘followed’ means many things in 2021 that means you need to look much further than over your shoulder. In episode seven of Rule of Thumb we learn about the multiple way in which someone experiencing family violence can be monitored and tracked by their abusive partner and the multiple ways that will impact their lives. We’ll learn that some things are easy to miss unless we know where to look and what to look for, and we’ll learn what steps we can start to take that will help people who are experiencing stalking and technological abuse.

How are people 'stalked' in 2021?

There are all sorts of ways to create fear. In this episode we’ll hear about some of the common ways people are controlled by fear in abusive relationships; those that have physical signs, such as damaging someone’s property, and those that don’t like threats. You’ll hear women, lawyers and counsellors describe some of those thing that we perhaps already think of when we think of family violence, but it’s the descriptions of those things we don’t think about enough that really help us understand how complex and powerful fear can be. Plus, we start to tune-in our eyes and ears so we don’t walk past a broken window or dismiss a threat without defusing, checking in, calling out or reporting the behaviour.

Listening for threats and looking for damage to property S2 E6

SEASON TWO: It's hard to help fix a problem we don't really understand. Family violence is complex and often hidden. Season Two of Rule of Thumb helps us all to understand the many different types of abuse that people experience and in doing so outlines the practical things that we can all do to take effective bystander action, safely. You'll learn to recognise the signs, what to say, what to do and how to "train people out of it". THis project was funded by the Tasmania Government through the Department of Communities as part of the COVID19 family violence response.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEASON ONE: Do you expect the law to apply equitably to men and women? Yeah, so did I.  In this podcast we hear women, their lawyers and their counsellors describe the way the legal process plays out, and how common it is for women to find themselves at a legal disadvantage even before the process begins. This podcast will get uncomfortable, because it seems the more we understand the application of the law and how it impacts women, the more uncomfortable the law becomes. But there's something about these very real, uncomfortable stories that will prepare us to get the best from the legal system we've got. This Women's Legal Service Tasmania Domestic Violence Unit project has been funded through the Australian Government's Women's Safety Package in response to rising family violence in our communities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This podcast discusses family violence which may be triggering for some listeners. It also contains legal information which is not intended as legal advice. You will find contact details for individual legal advice and family violence support services in the episode show notes.
