Despite Australia promising to end gendered violence within a generation, intimate partner abuse and domestic homicide rates are still rising – with at least one woman killed each week. Award-winning journalist Jess Hill leads this headline event exploring the bold and essential question: how can we end gendered violence? Can we end gendered violence?

Join us for a solo talk from Jess Hill, followed by a conversation and Q&A with UNSW expert Professor Michael Salter, chaired by Walkley-winning journalist Sarah Malik.

Unpacking the complexities of the issue in Australia, this event promises one of the festival’s most urgent and timely conversations.
