What will it take to stop gendered violence? What went wrong? Australian governments promised to end violence against women and children in a single generation. Instead, it is escalating- men have been murdering women at an increased rate, coercive control and sexual violence are becoming more complex and severe, and we see a marked rise in youth-on-youth sexual assault. Why? In Losing It, Jess Hill investigates Australia's National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children to find out what's working and what's not - and what we can do to turn things around. This compassionate, groundbreaking essay lifts the lid on a national crisis. "Each time a woman or child was murdered, I felt a gnawing sense of urgency. If it's everybody's responsibility to prevent violence, where does the buck stop?" - Jess Hill, Losing It 'Losing It is a sobering read. But most of all, it's a galvanising one, inviting Australia to solve the "wicked problem" of violence against women and children within one generation.' -The Conversation 'The heavy lifting that goes into Jess Hill's work is extraordinary. I can't put this down and I hope it finds as many readers as possible'-Sarah Krasnostein
