Mackenzie Won't Be Home For Christmas, Australia's Shame Is Why

Congratulations Australia, you’ve surpassed a 2021 milestone. We say this with no joy because it’s not a milestone you want to surpass, it’s one we’ve been actively trying to turn around for years but despite the tireless efforts of thousands of people across the country, 47 women have died at the hands of a violent man in Australia this year, one more than the year before. That’s 47 women who will not be joining their families these holidays, 45 families who will be grieving instead of celebrating. Today, we meet the mother of one of those women as we learn the names of many more who won’t be with their families this Christmas. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
