Book signing: Our National Crisis by Kate Fitz-Gibbon

Join author Kate Fitz-Gibbon for a book signing event marking the release of her work 'Our National Crisis: Violence Against Women & Children' at the National Library of Australia. Parking outside the National Library of Australia is free after 5:00pm. Kate will sign copies of her book and talk about her research on domestic and family violence. Violence against women and children is a national crisis. Nearly a decade has passed since family violence was first declared a national emergency in 2015, and yet communities are still taking to the streets to demand greater leadership and action, and the media continues to report on women killed on a weekly basis. An upscaling of commitment, funding and action commensurate with the scale of the problem is desperately needed. Kate Fitz-Gibbon is an internationally recognised expert in domestic and family violence, femicide, perpetrator interventions, and the impacts of policy and practice reform in Australia and internationally. She is a Professor (Practice) with the Faculty of Business and Economics at Monash University, and an Honorary Professorial Fellow with the Melbourne Law School at the University of Melbourne. In 2024, Kate founded Sequre Consulting, which is committed to advancing safety and equality.
