The TFSVA Alliance welcomes Members of Parliament and parliamentary staff to a free screening of Silenced at Parliament House on Monday 23 November, ahead of the 16 Days of Activism.
After #MeToo, survivors of sexual violence started speaking out. Many were then pulled into a new kind of silencing. Silenced follows international human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson as she works on high-profile cases involving Brittany Higgins, Amber Heard and Colombian journalist Catalina Ruiz-Navarro. It shows how defamation laws are being used against survivors and against the journalists who tell their stories.
This year’s Tasmanian theme is “Safety shouldn’t be a privilege.” Come along, watch the film and be part of the conversation about how we build communities where everyone can speak up and be believed.
📍 Parliament House, Hobart
📅 Monday 23 November 2026 | 🕑 2pm
