Australia is facing a reckoning on sexual violence, specifically within the field of politics. One woman says she was raped inside Parliament House. In a separate case, the now-former Attorney General has been accused of assault. And many Australians say the government isn’t doing enough to address a culture of toxicity for women in political spaces. The growing protest movement calls for change — in all communities, and for all women.
