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?\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eLosing It,\u003c/em\u003e Jess Hill investigates Australia\u0026#39;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.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“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?” – \u003cstrong\u003eJess Hill, \u003cem\u003eLosing It\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026#39;\u003cem\u003eLosing It\u003c/em\u003e is a sobering read. But most of all, it\u0026#39;s a galvanising one, inviting Australia to solve the \u0026quot;wicked problem\u0026quot; of violence against women and children within one generation.\u0026#39; —\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Conversation\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026#39;The heavy lifting that goes into Jess Hill\u0026#39;s work is extraordinary. I can\u0026#39;t put this down and I hope it finds as many readers as possible\u0026#39;—\u003cstrong\u003eSarah Krasnostein\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026#39;Hill makes a compelling case that preventing violence involves not just transforming the big picture but training our lens on the source.\u0026#39; —\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eInside Story\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e
