'Jeremy was accused of s*xual assault more than a dozen times between 2017 and 2020, for incidents stretching back to 2004. Upon further investigation, in August 2021, he was indicted on 30 s*xual-assault counts involving 21 victims including 12 counts of forcible rape.[5][6] He was initially jailed awaiting trial, but in January 2023, a judge found him mentally unfit to stand trial due to "incurable neurocognitive decline";[7] he was released to a private residence in November 2023.[8]' Source: Wikipedia

[Trigger warning: mention of Domestic Violence]

Isn’t it incredible what the body remembers, even when the mind tries to forget?

This week, I had sinus surgery after years of relentless infections. (Side note: forever grateful for the frozen pad I wore on my nose. Glamorous!)

But what I didn’t expect was what happened in the waiting room.

Just before the procedure, the ENT came in to walk me through the plan. He mentioned a spot near my eye socket they’d need to be extra careful with, something that showed up on my MRI. Then he asked, “Have you ever taken a big blow to your right eye?”

And just like that, it all came back.
Yes.
Over 30 years ago.
My ex punched me.
Hard.

I remember crying. Blowing my nose. My eye swelling shut in an instant. A fractured eye socket. I told the hospital it was a cricket ball. I lied.

My family were overseas. I didn’t want to make a fuss. I didn’t want to believe it had really happened. And I definitely wasn’t ready to leave him. Not then.

The surgeon said that injury had long-term consequences.
Thirty years later, my body is still carrying that trauma.

Domestic violence isn’t always visible.
Sometimes, even we forget how deep the wounds go until our bodies remind us.

I’m sharing this because someone out there might need to hear it.
Maybe it helps you feel less alone.
Maybe it reminds you to trust your body.
Maybe it’s the nudge to check in on someone who’s been quiet for too long.

DV doesn’t disappear with time.
But healing is possible.
I’m working on that. Even now.

This week in New York City, the federal trial against media and music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs began. Combs has been charged with racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

For the past three day singer Cassie Ventura has been on the stand, testifying to the extreme s*xual violence and abuse Combs inflicted upon her.

CATW stands with all survivors of s*xual exploitation and s*xual abuse, and demand that perpetrators be held accountable, regardless of their status or influence.

Today is National Domestic Violence Remembrance Day — a day to honour those who have lost their lives to family and gender-based violence and recommit to meaningful action.

This year alone, at least 24 women in Australia have been killed by acts of male violence. These women are not just statistics. They were loved. They had futures. Their absence is felt deeply every day, and their names deserve to be spoken and remembered.

We stand with their families, friends and communities in grief. We remember those who have been disappeared, and those less talked about and recognised. We also stand with the countless victim survivors who live with the trauma of violence every day.

Violence against women is not inevitable. It is a national catastrophe that calls for urgent, sustained and collective action to address its underlying drivers — including gender inequality and harmful social norms and attitudes that allow this violence to persist.

Today, we remember. We reflect. We mourn. And we continue to fight for a future where safety, equality, dignity and respect are not ideals, but everyday realities for everyone in Australia.
