Yesterday I behaved dangerously. I left my home, alone. I went for a walk in the dark, alone. I didn’t tell anyone where I was going or what time I’d be there. Nobody was tracking my location. I wore exercise tights that fit my body. I wore my hair down, easily accessible to grab. I had AirPods in to listen to the news. I didn’t carry keys in my hand, or have anything I could use to defend myself. I didn’t cross the street or turn around when I saw a man, or groups of men, up ahead. I didn’t smile politely (but not suggestively) when I passed these men.

The rhetoric we are told is that, as a female, I was putting myself in danger. I was being a dangerous female.

From my perspective, I was just one person on my way to join hundreds of others to walk for change. To step together, from Darkness to Daylight, in the memory of those taken by violence and to demand better for our communities. We all met at Queensland’s Parliament House where some incredible people had been running through the night to honour victims and to advocate for vital support for survivors through Challenge DV. It was truly wonderful to look across all of the people there and know I’m not alone in wanting change.

What a day to be a Dangerous Females. Anyone else act ‘dangerously’?

This morning we walked in memory of the lives taken from us. In Australia, the impact of domestic and family violence is felt across all communities. But when we gather together, we can spark change and build a safer future where no one has to suffer in silence. It was a privilege to do that alongside so many this morning.

Over the last month and a bit I walked the virtual 110km and finished with the last 3km this morning. Some amazing people did the 110km just overnight! Thank you to everyone who sent words of encouragement or donated to support my fundraising.

Together, united, we are powerful and we can make a difference.

How good is life with women?!? I met a suite of beautiful new people this morning thanks to Thinko 💕 The energy that comes from connecting with like minded people makes me feel unstoppable. What a treat ❤️

1 in 7 people live with endometriosis in Australia. It’s a chronic disease I’ve had for decades and didn’t even know it.

So it’s important to me to see my bridge raising awareness and bringing conversation to focus on the millions of Aussies who are navigating this illness right now. We need help from our healthcare system, our employers and from our community.

Thank you to for your relentless advocacy and support.

Have you seen the sign on your travels?

💦 Today’s post is about access to water in the community surrounding BEC. Over the days of our visit, the gents would often go over and greet the kids gathering water at the learning centre’s bore access point. Each day, the kids would come with as many containers as they could carry back, so their home had water to drink and cook with. It was funny to chat to the kids and try to communicate when we didn’t speak the same language. ☺️

This was my only go on the pump (it was hard work!), but Ross and Joel would often operate the pump for the kids. Us bzungu talked about the time and energy every family would dedicate just to gathering water. I remember saying that ‘living is a full-time job’.

I look so sweaty in the video because I’d just finished playing football (soccer) with the bigger kids staying at the centre. My wish would be that these kids could play football with us, instead of having the responsibility of transporting water.

BEC has two projects on their wish list, one to repair the bore in these videos as the base has now broken apart. The second, digging a deeper bore and pump, to future-proof ahead of a drought like the area experienced this year. It was a significant expense to purchase bottled water. Money that was diverted from other activities.
