Welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show, hosted by Rob in the studios of 3CR Community Radio in so-called Fitzroy. On today's show: 

First up Rob spoke to Madison, a facilitator of the TransCreatives writing support group as well as the managing editor of The TransCreator Zine. The group's aim is to foster, publish and promote TGDNB creativity towards enhancing our community culture. A launch party for the zine is being held on August 2nd at the Affirmation Station on Lygon Street. The interview includes audio promo for the Zine and affiliated writing support group provided by Madison.  

TRIGGER WARNING that these next two segments will include mention and discussion about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, AND VIOLENCE IN GENERAL.

Australia's National Research Organisation for Women's Safety (aka ANROWS) and RMIT's Centre for Innovative Justice are conducting a joint study on intimate partner violence among young people. Shortfalls in knowledge about young people's experiences in this area are, according the Elena Campbell, Associate Director of the Centre for Innovative Justice, hindering responses to it. To find out more about this Rob spoke with Elena. 

Following that we will be hearing speeches from the Naarm iteration of the National Rally Against Violence organised by What Were You Wearing. The speeches are from: 

- Bianca and Boyd Unwin, domestic violence advocates who began their advocacy following the brutal murder of Katie Haley in 2018. Katie's sister Biana is using her degrees in Criminology and Psychological Science to call out bad behaviour and poor practice. Katie's father Boyd sees his voice from the male perspective as an important tool to help change men's behaviour and attitudes. Boyd is also a current member on VSAC, the Victim Survivor Advocacy Council. 

- Madeleine Heather is the creator and host of the victim-centred podcast Reclaim Me, which offers victims and their families space to tell their stories in their own words. Madeleine herself is a victim survivor of child sexual abuse. 

- Finally we hear Sarah Hayden's speech at the rally. Sarah is a social worker, equine therapist, as well as the mother of Chloe Hayden, who was unable to speak at the rally.
