The loss of a child is every parent's worst fear. That fear became a reality for Rosie Batty. In February 2014 Rosie's Eleven Year-Old Son had just finished cricket practice with his local team at a park on the outskirts of Melbourne when he was brutally murdered by his father. It was the culmination of years of violence and abuse, most of it directed at Rosie. The day after the horrific attack Rosie spoke out in the media about Family Violence. From that day on, she has been one of the most prominent and successful campaigners on the issue in Australia's history. Rosie played a key role in the establishment of Victoria's landmark Royal Commission into Family Violence. In 2015 she was named Australian of the Year for giving voice to many thousands of survivors who had not been heard, for rising above personal tragedy and the great loss of her son, Luke, jolting Australia into recognising that Family Violence can happen to anyone. On a list that included The Pope, Fortune Magazine named one of it's Top 50 World's Greatest Leaders and she has been inducted into The Victorian Honour Roll of Women. In 2019, Rosie received an Order of Australia.
