Whoops. Tired transcriber #WomensSafetySummit

As day two of the Women's Safety Summit gets under way, keep in mind the thousands of women forced into homelessness after leaving violent homes. It shouldn't be this way. The Federal Government needs to urgently #BuildSocialHousing now. #Housing4Safety #Everybodyshome

📣Hear Hear! @GabbyWilliamsMP says ‘I think we can all agree the time for talking has well & truly passed… It is time for the Commonwealth to step up to meet its responsibility’. Wow … Thank you Minister Williams for calling for much needed action! #WomensSafetySummit #VAW #DFV

So well said Minister Williams - proud to be working in Victoria- we know the problems and the answers and Commonwealth needs to hear and act

Vale Rebecca Poulson, award winning author and advocate. Thank you for your incredible work in the fight against domestic and family violence. The 1800RESPECT team sends their condolences to Rebecca's family and friends during this very sad and difficult time.

Consistency is key across legislation and that provides clarity for employers. Three CEOs state the case for strengthening the #RespectAtWork bill. @ritabsafesteps @drjennygray @anne_jamieson1

"We look for hazards when it comes to OH&S. We proactively address them. The same should apply for sexual harassment." @drjennygray states the case for positive duty.

We are looking forward to hearing from a great lineup of guest speakers today, for our Respect @ Work Virtual Summit. Hope to see many of you online now. #notinmyworkplace

Join us online for the Respect @ Work Summit on 21 June. The event will explore the roadmap to address workplace sexual harassment from the Respect @ Work Report. We want action now and the more voices we have, the louder our call events.humanitix.com/respect-work-s…

Congratulations to WESNET National Chair @Julie_Oberin AM. Julie works tirelessly and has helped countless women escape and recover from family violence. She has also influenced regional, state, national & international policy about ending violence against women. Well overdue.
