Victorias anti-bullying legislation, known as Brodies Law made serious bullying a crime punishable by up to 10 years in jail So if Bullying is a crime then why do lawyers and judges still Verbally Abuse and retraumatise victims in Australian courtrooms? ##bullyingawareness #believevictims #lawyers

People ask me why I Advocate when it seems like no one is interested All I can say is that despite the seeming lack of interest I am driven by the fundamental belief that everyone deserves to be acknowledged heard and supported So I will keep advocating until someone listens -#ADVOCATE

I Stand in Solidarity with all Past and Present Survivors who have been Denied Justice because "No one's Abuse is worse than another's; All Survivors should be treated Equally, there shouldn't be justice for one group and none for another. #careleavers #fostercare #kinshipcare #CSA

As a Lived Experience Advocate I fight for legislative reforms that are desperately needed for Victims of Injustice Even though I am ignored by those with the power to make changes I continue to fight against the odds For if we dont defend ourselves then who else will #advocate #injustice #trauma

Just because a topic offends our delicate sensibilities doesn't mean we can disregard it. People must stop ignoring Trauma Survivors - They are victims and have a right to be heard. -#traumasurvivor #traumahealing #advocacy #sexualassualt

As an Advocate I often encounter resistance, particularly from narrow-minded organisations who, due to “Tunnel Vision” refuse to support a Cause because they feel the topic is too sensitive and would prefer to avoid it rather than help Raise Awareness with open and honest discussion. - #Advocacy

When people in Power ignore a victims thoughts and feelings it has an adverse psychological impact leaving them feeling retraumatised and invalidated It takes one politician to say This is wrong and that victims can no longer be allowed to suffer - #auspol #trauma #justice #CSA

Living with chronic pain can be isolating and crippling It drains you of your joy yet despite your own suffering, you never stop being a beacon of hope and optimism to others by sharing words of encouragement. #chronicpain #DisabilityAwareness #chronicillness #invisibleillness #mentalhealthawareness

We must no longer hide who we are. We must be authentic. We must be unmasked. We have to stop hiding who we really are. We need to have the fortitude to embrace our imperfections and be comfortable with who we really are. -#selfacceptance

Mokokoma Mokhonoana, in my opinion, said it best ― “The smiles of the unhappiest are often the widest.”

Advocates fill the void left by indifferent politicians by providing the support that their government refuses to offer. - #advocates #auspol #justice
