  • Shortcut: The Hidden Numbers Behind Femicide and Child Death in Australia

    Shortcut: The Hidden Numbers Behind Femicide and Child Death in Australia
    May 18 2025

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    You can’t discuss true crime in Australia without talking about violence against women and children.


    Journalist Sherele Moody has spent years documenting these tragic cases through the Australian Femicide and Child Death Map.


    Sherele's passion for the issue was born of many of her own experiences, including the crimes of her own stepfather, and she joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about the hidden numbers and the people behind them.

    You can learn more about Sherele's work and about Australia's Femicide and Child Death Map here.
