124: Is Gendered Violence Getting Worse?

Serious Danger

Pauline Hanson vs Mehreen Faruqi. Emerald and Tom discuss violence against women in Australia, following protests against gendered violence across the country (15:54). Is the problem getting worse? What happened with Albo’s icky appearance at the Canberra rally? What is being done to help the situation and how should we approach it as non-carceral socialists? Finally, a call to action (54:30).

SUPPORT THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA

OSLO, NORWAY: The Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s (FFC) vessel Handala set sail to several Northern European countries today. Handala’s “For the Children of Gaza” mission departs from Norway to challenge and break the inhumane blockade of Gaza and to shed light on the consequences of the inhumane measures taken against Palestinian children by Israel, with the support of the US and other countries, despite the global outcry for a permanent cease fire and the end of an occupied Palestine.
