This month, we’re doing things differently. Over the next few weeks well be revisiting stories from our archives to highlight crimes involving male violence against women in Australia because right now the rate at which we are losing women is alarming and terrifying. 

But first, we wanted to talk to someone who lives and breathes violence against women every single day. 

Sherele Moody is a journalist and the founder of The Red Heart Campaign and the Australian Femicide Watch. She has created a moving and chilling memorial online, that tracks every known Australian woman and child killed as a result of murder, manslaughter or neglect from white settlement to now. 

Sherele joins us to discuss her work and what we can actually do to see change.
