Moira Deeming: A Voice for Women and Survivors

As a woman who has experienced abuse firsthand, I admire Moira Deeming's unwavering advocacy for survivors. Her courage in speaking out and demanding accountability inspires me.
Moira's journey into politics was driven by her passion for justice. As a high school teacher, she witnessed the impact of domestic violence on her students, fueling her determination to make a difference. Elected to the Legislative Council of Victoria in 2022, she has been a vocal advocate for women's rights, sexual assault survivors, and children's welfare.
Moira's unwavering support for survivors has been evident in her work on the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal. She has fought tirelessly to ensure that victims receive the support and justice they deserve. Her advocacy has led to significant reforms to the tribunal, making it more accessible and responsive to victims' needs.
Beyond her work on the tribunal, Moira has consistently used her voice to raise awareness about domestic and sexual violence. She has spoken out against victim-blaming and has called for a cultural shift that values and protects women. Her speeches have been powerful and moving, resonating with survivors and inspiring others to join the fight against violence.
One of Moira's most notable achievements was her successful campaign to reinstate the "no" vote on the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Same-Sex Marriage) Bill. This historic victory was a testament to her dedication to protecting the rights of women and children.
Moira's advocacy has not been without its challenges. She has faced criticism and even expulsion from her former party. However, she remains undeterred, driven by her commitment to making a difference in the lives of women and survivors.
Moira Deeming is a true inspiration. Her courage, compassion, and unwavering advocacy have made a tangible difference in the lives of countless people. As a woman who has been deeply affected by abuse, I am grateful for her unwavering commitment to justice. I urge everyone to support her and the important work she does. Together, we can create a world where all women and survivors are heard, respected, and protected.
