Our National Shame: Violence Against Women

By Kate Fitz-Gibbon

A searing indictment of Australia's ongoing crisis of violence against women, demanding transformative change and accountability.

In the wake of shocking expos s of sexism and sexual violence in Parliament House, Kate Fitz-Gibbon's Our National Shame confronts Australia's persistent failure to address violence against women. This powerful analysis reveals how deeply ingrained gender inequality and a lack of federal leadership perpetuate this crisis. Fitz-Gibbon challenges readers to move beyond case-by-case solutions and demand a fundamental shift in how we understand and respond to men's violence.
