WHY I DIDN’T REPORT. 💔

“Where were you?”
“Were you drunk?”
“What were you wearing?”
“Why didn’t you say no?”
“Why didn’t you report it?”

These are the questions survivors of sexual violence are so often faced with. Questions that shift the blame onto the victim instead of the person responsible for the abuse.

Imagine finding the courage to speak up, only to be questioned, doubted, blamed or told you’re lying.

There are so many reasons someone may not report. Fear. Shame. Trauma. Threats. Not being believed. Being terrified of what might happen if they speak out.

Not reporting doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Silence is not consent. And what someone was wearing, drinking or doing never makes violence their fault.

Instead of asking survivors why they didn’t report, ask why someone chose to hurt them.

Believe survivors. Stop victim blaming. Hold perpetrators accountable.

Because behind every question, there may be a person still trying to find their voice.

WHAT IS COERCIVE CONTROL?

Coercive control is a pattern of abusive behaviour used by one person to gain power and control over another. It’s not always physical, and it doesn’t always leave visible bruises.

It can look like:

🔴 Controlling what someone wears or who they see.
🔴 Monitoring their phone, messages or location.
🔴 Isolating them from family and friends.
🔴 Controlling their money or stopping them from working.
🔴 Constantly criticising, humiliating or belittling them.
🔴 Using threats, intimidation or fear to get their way.
🔴 Making someone feel like they must walk on eggshells to avoid an argument.

Coercive control is about power, not love.

It can happen gradually, leaving someone feeling trapped, frightened, dependent or questioning their own reality.

You don’t have to be physically assaulted for abuse to be real.

LOVE SHOULD NEVER MEAN LOSING YOUR FREEDOM.

Recognise the signs. Believe survivors. Speak up.

💜 OCTOBER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH 💜

I am a survivor.
My story matters, and I will never be ashamed of it.

To every survivor, you are not alone. You deserve safety, respect and a love that never hurts you.

I stand with survivors, remember those we have lost, and fight for a future where no one has to ask, “Am I Next?” 💜

What is the “I Am Jane Doe” movement?

The I Am Jane Doe movement is a wave of support for survivors of sexual assault and violence against women that has been spreading online.

It has gained attention following a high-profile case in the United States involving a woman using the name Jane Doe to protect her identity.

Why are people getting involved?

❤️ Standing together: Showing survivors they are not alone.
🗣️ Breaking the silence: Encouraging conversations about sexual assault and abuse.
⚖️ Demanding justice: Calling for accountability and better protection for survivors.
🛑 Protecting identities: Respecting the privacy of people who have experienced sexual violence.
🤝 Supporting survivors: Challenging victim-blaming and the shame often placed on victims.

How does it relate to Am I Next?
Both movements raise awareness of violence against women.

I Am Jane Doe: Standing with survivors of sexual assault and demanding justice.

Am I Next?: Highlighting the fear that women face and asking how many more women must die before meaningful change happens.

At the heart of both movements is one message:
Women deserve to be safe. Survivors deserve to be heard. And violence against women must never be accepted as normal.

This weekend, while we were reinstalling the She Matters Wall, three more women were killed in NSW in separate alleged domestic violence incidents.

Three women.

One allegedly killed by her son.
One allegedly killed by her grandson.
One allegedly killed by her partner.

Today, we learnt of another horrific incident in the Blue Mountains.

One 5 year old child is dead. Two little children aged 1 and 3 are fighting for their lives. Allegedly attacked by their mother before turning the weapon on herself.

It is difficult to find words for a weekend like this.

We spent two days carefully putting the faces of women killed by violence back onto a wall - talking about why remembering them matters, why preventing violence matters, and why we cannot allow these deaths to become numbers we simply scroll past.

And while we were doing it, more families were being devastated.

This is horrific.

These are not just headlines. These are people. Families. Children. Lives that cannot be put back together.

Something has to change. ❤️

🚨 WE’VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO! 🚨

This weekend, Sherele Moody is heading back to Orange and we’re giving the She Matters mural some much-needed love.

Unfortunately, the glue we used for the original installation hasn’t held up as well as we’d hoped, and the posters are looking pretty worn.

So… we’re giving it a refresh and making room for 2026.

We’ve got new glue, a new plan, and this weekend we’ll be doing a full removal and reinstall of the She Matters mural.

And we need some extra hands!

📍 Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th September 2026
⏰ From 9am

You absolutely don’t need to stay all day. Pop down for half an hour, an hour, whatever you can manage. Peel some posters, help us prep, slap some glue around or help get the new posters back up - every extra pair of hands will make a difference.

If you’re keen, shoot us a message for more details.

Or just show up from 9am Saturday or Sunday and we’ll put you to work, bonus points if you bring drinks, snacks or coffee. ❤️

Plus, We’d bloody love the help.

🩷 WHAT IS MOLLY’S LAW?

Molly’s Law is the name given to major NSW bail reforms introduced following the tragic death of 28-year-old Molly Ticehurst in April 2024.

The reforms were created to strengthen protections for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence and make it harder for people accused of serious domestic violence offences to obtain bail.

Under the reforms:

🩷 Serious DV offences can be “show cause” offences — meaning the accused must demonstrate why they should be released on bail.

🩷 Victim safety matters — courts must consider available safety concerns raised by victims and their families.

🩷 Domestic violence red flags must be considered, including stalking, intimidation, physical or sexual violence, verbal abuse and violence towards animals.

🩷 Electronic monitoring is required for adults granted bail for serious domestic violence offences, unless the court determines there are sufficient reasons not to impose it.

🩷 Bail decisions are made by magistrates or judges, rather than registrars.

Molly’s death changed the conversation around bail and domestic violence in NSW. Her name now represents a push for a justice system that puts victim safety at the centre.

Molly should still be here. Her legacy is helping protect others. 🩷

Two precious little lives lost far too soon. 💜

A 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl — children who deserved a lifetime of love, laughter and memories.

Their story should never be forgotten. Their lives mattered. Their voices may be silent, but ours cannot be.

We must continue to stand up, speak out and demand change.

Today we remember Kristy Armstrong.

A loving and devoted mother to three beautiful daughters, Kristy’s world revolved around her girls. She was a treasured daughter, a cherished sister, and a loyal friend whose kindness touched so many lives.

Kristy’s selflessness knew no bounds. She carried a child as a surrogate for her best friend, giving one of the greatest gifts imaginable — the gift of family. It was a reflection of the caring, compassionate, and generous person she was.

Three years ago, Kristy’s life was taken far too soon as a result of domestic violence. While her life was tragically cut short, her love, strength, and memory continue to live on through her daughters, her family, and the many friends who were fortunate enough to know her.

Today, we honour Kristy. We remember her beautiful smile, her loving heart, and the countless lives she touched.
Please join us in remembering Kristy and standing against domestic violence.

💜 Leave a light on for Kristy.
💜 Say her name.
💜 Never forget.

🕯️ Leave Your Light On for Kristy 🕯️

Today marks three years since Kristy Armstrong’s life was tragically taken in an act of domestic violence.

Kristy lost her life after her ex-husband deliberately drove his vehicle head-on, knowing that Kristy and two of his three daughters were in the car. A devastating act that forever changed the lives of those who loved her.

Today, our deepest thoughts are with Kristy’s family, friends, and all those who continue to carry the weight of this unimaginable loss. We also hold close the many families across Australia who have lost loved ones to domestic and family violence.

Tonight, we leave our light on for Kristy.

A light of remembrance.
A light of love.
A light of hope.

Because every life lost to domestic violence matters.
Because love should never hurt.
Because no one should be forgotten.

💜 Leave your light on for Kristy. 💜
