Spend an evening with Walkley-award-winning investigative journalist, author and educator Jess Hill, one of Australia's leading voices on preventing violence against women and children. Drawing on her acclaimed Stella Prize-winning book See What You Made Me Do, Jess will be in conversation exploring the realities of domestic abuse in Australia, examining the systems that can reinforce harm and the practical steps that can help create meaningful change. Combining rigorous research with compelling storytelling, See What You Made Me Do rethinks how to challenge and confront the prevalence of domestic abuse in our community.
