In the past seven days, we lost four Australian women and girls to femicide.
This year, a total of 32 women and 12 children have been killed.  Last year 79 women were lost to violence, the year before 204 women were killed. 
In the past 24 hours, the media have run more articles about shark attacks than they have collectively run on the femicide epidemic.
There's no doubt, shark attacks should be covered and the victims should be spoken about.
But the collective political and media response to shark attacks compared to killed women and children is appalling.
On average, we lose THREE Australians to shark attacks EACH YEAR.
We lose one woman or girl EVERY FOUR DAYS to an act of male violence.
The same voices calling for the cull of sharks are the same voices who stay silent on the slaughter of women and children. 

Please help me get a Royal Commission into the Killing of Women and Girls - sign the petition (f you haven't already) and share it with your circle. The more voices we get the better chance we have of success!
