Jess Hill is a journalist, author and speaker on gender-based violence.
With more than one woman a week murdered by her current or former partner, Jess is fiercely advocating for a safer world for women and children. She’s presented at almost 400 events about coercive control and delivers education for magistrates, communities and frontline workers. Jess is also regularly consulted on law reform, and this year sat on the Rapid Review of Prevention Approaches panel.
Her book on domestic abuse, See What You Made Me Do, won the 2020 Stella Prize and was adapted into a docuseries for SBS. Following this came podcast series The Trap about coercive control, another docuseries on SBS on consent called Asking For It, and a quarterly essay on how #MeToo has changed Australia.
For over 10 years, Jess has been living with brain cancer. Yet despite this, she continues to work relentlessly towards ending gender-based violence.
