Summary:
Rosie Batty talks about her journey from tragedy to advocacy, offering lessons on resilience, community action, and finding hope.
Ten years ago, Rosie Batty’s 11-year-old son, Luke, was murdered by his father. Since this life-changing event she has become a household name, awarded Australian of the Year, and an Order of Australia for her work advocating for family violence victims and survivors. Rosie turned her personal tragedy into powerful advocacy, and the media titled her an Accidental Hero.
But her work was no accident.
So, what does it mean to be a leader who uses empathy and advocacy to inspire others? What lessons can Rosie teach us about cultivating resilience and driving community action? And ten years later, when research reports that one woman a week is being murdered by a current or former partner in Australia, what gives Rosie hope?
Find out this and more, at our upcoming talk with Rosie Batty and Dr Carmel Hobbs. Secure your tickets now to avoid disappointment.
