Women are often told to watch their drinks while partying. But even well-intentioned advice can perpetuate the idea they’re to blame if they are assaulted.

Behaviour to ‘promote’ or prevent pregnancy can intersect with domestic, family and sexual violence. It weaponises someone’s reproductive capacity to control them.
Instead of asking how to fix the rural GP shortage, we should look at the bigger picture and ask how nurse practitioners could work to their full capacity.
For years, we’ve taken major sporting events, a public holiday, added alcohol and gambling, then watched domestic violence rates rise. It’s time we did something different.
