The rate of women killed by an intimate partner in Australia has increased by nearly 30% in the year 2022-23, compared to the previous year.
And the deaths of dozens of women across the country this year alone has prompted mass protests – with thousands taking to the streets rallying against gender-based violence.
But the issue isn't one that isn’t limited to our trans-Tasman neighbours. In New Zealand, between 2009 and 2020, 178 women and girls were killed in family violence-related killings.
Today on The Front Page, Chelsea talks first to Australian journalist Sherele Moody, who founded the Australian Femicide Watch and the Red Heart Campaign, and then Dr. Nicola Atwool - the chairperson of the Family Violence Death review here in New Zealand.
