What does it take to track every single domestic femicide in Australia when newsrooms and policies fail to cover the truth? In this episode, host Anissa Cavallo sits down with advocate, journalist, and founder of Australian Femicide Watch, Sherele Moody. Sherele opens up about the personal story that ignited her advocacy work, the newsroom pushback that inspired the Red Heart Campaign, and the relentless reality of documenting violence against women across the nation.
Together, we unpack the intersection of financial dependence, coercive control, and domestic violence, exploring why leaving a relationship is often the most dangerous time for a survivor, how Australia's housing crisis leaves women trapped, and how grassroots projects like Stacey’s Sanctuary are providing safety where systemic policy falls short.
