Abortion was fully decriminalised across Australia in 2023, meaning people can end a pregnancy without fear of prosecution. But that hasn’t stopped abortion being weaponised against women in the courtroom. Writer and producer Madison Griffiths, who has spent a decade covering reproductive rights, was shocked to learn that abortion records were surfacing in custody battles in the family court, and even sexual abuse trials. Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper, Madison Griffiths, on the right to choose – and how the law is struggling to keep up with this new form of domestic abuse.

Chanel Contos has led a powerful movement to include consent education in the national curriculum, and was recently appointed by Julia Gillard to chair the Global Institute for Women's Leadership's Youth Advisory Committee. Her debut book, Consent Laid Bare: Sex, Entitlement & the Distortion of Desire, is a battle cry from a generation no longer prepared to stay silent. In it, Contos explores the political, legislative and cultural changes required to combat Australia's culture of misogyny and normalisation of sexual violence, and outlines steps to achieve true gender equality. Consent Laid Bare advocates for intimacy, consent and enjoyment to be centred in all sexual relationships. At this exclusive Melbourne event hosted by Madison Griffiths, Contos discussed the vital role of consent amidst a culture influenced by porn, the patriarchy and male entitlement.The event recorded on Tuesday 5th March 2024 at The Wheeler Centre. It was presented in partnership with the Victorian Women's Trust. The official bookseller was Readings.Featured music is 'Different Days' by Chill Cole.

“My name is Roia Atmar, and—in my after—I made it a mission that other women find proof of their own. Proof that there is no uncomplicated route, that fear and shame lives in the most dubious of places, even still. That abuse does not end with the last lighting of a match, with the last foul insult, with the last bellow of a man—or ten—as they stand on the dusty steps of a court, the same court where women wanting nothing more than justice stand, holding space for any semblance of pride they can muster. Women that fight for their very own afters.”In the sixth and final episode, My Name is Roia Atmar, she battles through the family court system as she is confronted not only by her abuser, but by the loud and obnoxious presence of “Men's Rights Activists”. As she fights to keep herself and her children safe, Roia reflects on the ongoing nature of healing, survival and hope.Co-producers: Madison Griffiths and Beth Atkinson-QuintonLead Storyteller: Roia AtmarSensitivity Editor: Shakira HusseinAssistant Producer: Danae GibsonSound Designer and Engineer: Jon TjhiaGuest in this episode: Samantha Jeffries, Amani Haydar and Ashlee DonohueFor episode transcripts and more information visit our website and stay in touch across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @broadwavepods, and @tenderpodcast on Twitter.Tender season two is Broadwave podcast supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and proudly sponsored by the Victorian Women's Trust.

“Abuse grows where love once could have. Interpersonal violence is a double-edged sword. And this, this tense and dangerous phenomenon, makes any sort of court proceeding incredibly hard. A webbed thing. The end, or so it seems, of a terrible, loveless promise.”In episode 5 Hungry and Holy, Roia tackles the criminal justice system head on as she faces her abuser in the courtroom. In a bid to protect himself, he uses his faith to distract and delay court proceedings. Roia considers how religious institutions of all kinds can be weaponised by men when it comes to the way they exercise violence.Co-producers: Madison Griffiths and Beth Atkinson-QuintonLead Storyteller: Roia AtmarSensitivity Editor: Shakira HusseinAssistant Producer: Danae GibsonSound Designer and Engineer: Jon TjhiaGuest in this episode: Hala AbdelnourFor episode transcripts and more information visit our website and stay in touch across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @broadwavepods, and @tenderpodcast on Twitter.Tender season two is Broadwave podcast supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and proudly sponsored by the Victorian Women's Trust.

“Working in the sector, and simultaneously existing as a survivor, means being looked at: being perceived, even if the woman on the other end of the line, or sitting before you, isn't aware of your past. It means being an image of recovery, whether that image feels fully-formed or not.”In episode 4 An Image of Recovery, Roia establishes a career in the family violence sector. Confronted by one particular client's story and the way it eerily echoes her own, Roia is forced to reckon with the complexities of being a support worker as well as a victim-survivor in the space, especially when the client looking back at you for help resembles all that you once knew.

“Over the span of my life, I had to get my nose re-pierced five times. It was a no-brainer: I was obviously going to do it. And, in a way, there was something quite powerful and commanding about my body's insistence when it came to healing itself. Just this time, they were my wounds: and the sort that allowed me to bedazzle myself, time and time again, bleeding but adorned.”In episode 3 Bleeding but Adorned, Roia delights in all of the small, but significant ways she is able to reclaim her appearance after abuse: from buying her first pair of skinny jeans, to getting her nose pierced. After her divorce, she is also forced to make a map of what it means to be ‘an Australian' in the early 2000s, in the dawn of 9/11, when xenophobia was - and still is - rife in the Western world.Co-producers: Madison Griffiths and Beth Atkinson-QuintonLead Storyteller: Roia Atmar Sensitivity Editor: Shakira Hussein Assistant Producer: Danae Gibson Sound Designer and Engineer: Jon Tjhia Guests in this episode: Debbie, Dr Mehreen Faruqi, Maha Krayem Abdo OAMFor episode transcripts and more information visit our website and stay in touch across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook at @broadwavepods, and @tenderpodcast on Twitter.Tender season two is Broadwave podcast supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, and proudly sponsored by the Victorian Women's Trust.

“Given the way my burns creeped over my neck and side, it meant I physically wasn't able to move in certain ways. I was a walking, talking, breathing conundrum of sorts: presented with this hopeful newfound agency having just left my abuser, but still restricted entirely by his doing, a prisoner in my body.”In episode 2 Twice Over, Roia moves to Melbourne, where she lives with her children and her family. Despite leaving her now ex-husband, her burns continue to gnaw, sting and throb. Drawing on her body and its unique architecture post-violence, Roia describes the kind of claustrophobia she is forced to face in a body made to wear her ex-husband's rage.

With no way of knowing how long her fertility would prevail, Madison Griffiths did what she felt she had to, with the tools she was afforded. Lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman recommends this personal story

What does leaving actually look like? What does it mean for a space to become yours? Like, really, truly become yours? For Roia Atmar, it began in a burns unit in a Perth hospital during the summer of 1998. After a brutal domestic assault from her then husband, the shy 20-year-old had never ventured out of the suburban home she shared with her partner's family… at least since arriving in Australia from Pakistan six years prior as a 14-year-old bride. In episode 1 Something Burning, Roia harnesses her strength: musing on how, when something goes up in flames, it becomes larger than itself.

What does my ‘after' look like? How did my story begin? Tender is a thoughtful podcast series about what happens when women leave abusive relationships.The first season of Tender followed Madison's journey of self-discovery and growth after an abusive relationship, zooming in on the small, soft details. Tender started where the story seemingly ends, at least in how domestic abuse narratives are often conveyed.It has been two years, and in that time domestic abuse has remained a national crisis.For those that survive abusive relationships, that forge their own complex journeys after undergoing a kind of private terror, the monstrosity of that experience doesn't come with an expiration date. The hurt doesn't always promise to subside, and when—or if—it does, the healing never quite looks the way it seems it should. But scattered amongst it all are pivotal moments: of tenderness, of growth, of selfhood.In the second season of Tender, we introduce you to Roia Atmar, a mother, activist, survivor. Join us as we invite you into Roia's after.

This week, we are joined by Madison Griffiths, producer of Tender, a Broadwave Productions podcast about what happens when women leave abusive relationships. Madison is a writer, producer and poet whose words can be found in the Guardian, VICE, Overland, Meanjin, Kill Your Darlings and more. We speak about the need to center survivors in their stories and why it is important to talk about what happens after their departure from violent relationships.  

**TRIGGER WARNING - Domestic Violence and Abuse** In a special International Women’s Day episode of Writes4Women Kel chats with the magnificent Madison Griffiths. Madison is a writer, poet, artist, domestic abuse survivor and advocate, podcaster and hard-core feminist. Kel takes a journey back with Madison, over the last 4 years of her life and feminism. Starting at 2016 - the year Madison left her abusive relationship and embarked on her own journey of self construction. Also the year we saw #metoo trigger a movement of reckoning for women’s rights. To now, 2020, when Madison is into the 2nd season of her empathetic podcast about life after abuse, “Tender” and when Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of rape but Domestic Violence and Homicide is still being blamed on the victims, as we saw recently in QLD. Since then both Madison and society have gone through a massive feminist metamorphosis, one that is still taking place. This metamorphosis, what it has meant for the next generations of women, where it is failing and where it could end up is what they talk about in this episode.

On this show, we introduce our newest team member, Madison Griffiths, who discusses growing opposition to the Melbourne Cup horse race, the common association between eating meat and masculinity, and the new Netflix documentary The Game Changers that challenges this connection by looking into athletes eating a plant-based diet. You can hear Madison as a guest on our show discussing animal rights as a social justice issue here: http://www.freedomofspecies.org/show/madison-griffiths-%E2%80%93-animal-rights-social-justice-issue

Madison is an activist, poet, producer and writer from Melbourne. She has been published in places like VICE, The Guardian and SBS. Madison and I spoke about our experiences in Melbourne as people of colour, as people raised by migrant parents, as people who sometimes felt as though they existed on the outside. We spoke about cancel culture and social media and their shortcomings. We also spoke about how mental health fits into all of this. Naturally, we ended by having a laugh about online dating. You can find Madison's work here: VICE, The Guardian, SBS, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram. This is a raw and honest conversation. We touched on delicate and upsetting themes of racism, mental health and suicide. If you are concerned about your own health or someone else's, or if you need someone to talk with, visit:Lifeline (24hrs): 13 11 14 - www.lifeline.org.auKids' Helpline (24hrs): 1800 55 1800 - www.kidshelp.com.auBeyondBlue (24hrs): 1300 22 4636 - www.beyondblue.org.auThanks for listening.Love,Aleks 

Controversy has often courted the role of the critic - sometimes personified as a miserly cynic out to destroy, rather than elucidate, enrich or enlighten. But criticism is a vital part of our creative arts ecology - both an art form in its own right, as well as space within which many practicing artists engage in meaningful discourse with their peers. In this episode, we explore the role of the critic - both as a mode of discourse, to be engaged in with care, and as an internal force to be reckoned with - but not always dismissed. We spoke to actor and writer Carissa Lee about the place and value of arts criticism, caring for your community in criticism, and the ways in which your own arts practice can inform and enrich your criticism. We also spoke to writer, artist and poet Madison Griffiths about overcoming your inner critic, as well as the ways in which this inner naysayer can be useful and productive. === Featuring: Carissa Lee and Madison Griffiths Produced by: Lindsey Green === See the full EWF19 Program here: https://emergingwritersfestival.org.au/events/festival/2019/ See bios for Carissa and Madison here: ttps://emergingwritersfestival.org.au/event/ewf19-podcast/

Madison Griffiths is an artist, poet, activist and podcaster. She was co-host of the podcast No Chill. And is writer, producer and presenter for her newest podcast Tender, the story of what happens when a woman leaves an abusive relationship. I'm so thrilled to welcome Madison Griffiths into the Castaway Studios for our first studio episode of 2019. Our previous ALL DOG themed episode was held at the wonderful Merri Creek Tavern. Our next live show will be held on Wednesday May 1st, 2019 at Merri Creek Tavern. Put it in your diary. Madison tells me her origin story as writer which all began when Vice published an article of hers in 2016 called An Open Letter to My Vagina: Sex, Pain, and Vaginismus In 2017 Madison and Lucinda Price had a live online conversation called No Chill as part of the Digital Writers Festival. This went on to become a six part podcast series presented by Pedestrian TV. On the three year anniversary of leaving an abusive relationship Madison had a powerful dream that motivated her to start her own deeply personal and powerful podcast called Tender. Madison then tells me about her experience performing on a poetry open mic for the first time. And we discuss how vibrant the spoken word scene is in Melbourne. The best resource in Melbourne for things spoken word is Melbourne Spoken Word. Go there to discover upcoming events, workshops, competitions, publishing opportunities, mentorships, EVERYTHING relating to spoken word. There were many amazing creative prompts posted on both our Facebook and Instagram pages this week. Thank you so much. Keep them coming in. At the moment, every week on the show we will give away a More Than A Whelan koozie (stubby holder) to my favourite creative prompt of the week. Madison reads an original poem of hers called A Meadow in response to the prompt : Hair. Its power, its stigma, how it changes us in the eyes of others AND ourselves. This was supplied by Matt H Kennedy. Thank you Matt. You are More Than A Whelan Muse of the Week! I chose two prompts to inspire a new poem. The prompts were... Breakdown in communication by Johnny Moretti. The risks and joys of sleeping naked by Annie Molenaar. AKA Celebrant Lady Love. and Unholy Matrimony Flip It and Reverse It. I nearly always sleep naked. I say nearly because sometimes I will fall asleep in my undies or t-shirt or both. But every time I awake, I am liberated from my clothing. Sometime during the night I have removed them in my sleep and I never have any memory of it whatsoever. I imagine myself wriggling from the cocoon of my clothing bit by bit during the night and sometimes I forget about exactly where that clothing goes and I’ll think where the hell have all my undies gone? Until it’s time to change the sheets and there they are wedged at the end of the bed, sometimes two or three pairs Curled and cuddled up like sleeping cats. When alone in a house, as I often up when house sitting, I will often rise naked, and walk bleary eyes into the kitchen to turn the kettle on, maybe whack a muffin or two into the toaster. Sometimes I’ll even drop a banging hiphop playlist on to put a little boost into butt and a little sass into my strut as I start grooving around the kitchen. One such morning at a house sit in Carlton I was doing exactly this when I suddenly thought I heard a sound above the banging bass thumps of Missy Elliott. When I looked up , there was the cleaning lady lugging a vacuum cleaner down the hallway. She had her head down and hadn’t noticed me yet. I panicked I was in open ground there wasn’t enough time to flee. I seized the closest object I could find to protect my modesty. So when the cleaning lady finally looked up, there I was holding a frying pan in front of my groin. The owner told me the cleaning lady wasn’t coming until the next day, the cleaning lady was told something else. A breakdown in communication of mortifying consequences. She dropped the vacuum and returned from whence she came. I fled to my room and shut the door. Missy Elliott kept booming throughout the house, singing “Is it worth it? Let me work it I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it” Our Golden Muse of the Week this week is Annie. Congrats Annie!
