    From Silence to Story: Sherele Moody on Femicide, Media Failure, and Real Accountability

    TW: This episode discusses gender-based violence, femicide, child deaths, and systemic failures surrounding these issues. A map of red hearts shouldn’t have to exist, yet Sherele Moody has spent a decade making sure every woman and child lost to violence in Australia is named, counted, and remembered. In this episode I sit down with Sherele to unpack what it takes to build a living memorial that families can search and trust, how patterns emerge when you track every case, and why “awareness” without “accountability” keeps the toll rising. We speak about the uncomfortable truths: media narratives that decentre victims, headlines that blame and sensationalise, and the quiet ways misogyny shows up in language and decision-making. Sherele shares how her Red Heart campaign and Australian Femicide Watch document cases from first report to closure, capturing red flags, systemic failures, and context that helps other women see risks earlier.
