“Tailored support for children is critical to breaking intergenerational cycles of violence. While childhood trauma doesn’t determine someone’s future, it significantly increases the risk of violence later in life.” 🧡
This week on Humans of Purpose, we’re joined by Dr Hannah Tonkin - lawyer, international human rights advocate, and the inaugural NSW Women’s Safety Commissioner.
Hannah leads efforts across the NSW government to strengthen responses to domestic, family, and sexual violence. Her work centres on building collaboration between government, non-government organisations, and communities - ensuring victim-survivors have a meaningful voice.
In this conversation, she shares powerful insights into how early intervention, prevention, and tailored support can disrupt cycles of harm and create safer futures for generations to come.
