Australia has suffered at least five domestic violence deaths in the last seven days. Way above our already appalling average.

We have two guests for today's episode:

Kylie Druett is a co-founder of Australian Voices for the Silenced, an advocacy organisation representing families affected by domestic violence-related homicides, and will speak about the long-term impact on those left behind.

Karen Bevan, CEO of Full Stop Australia, will discuss the recent spate of alleged domestic violence-related killings and what needs to change to better prevent and respond to domestic and family violence.
