For too long, Australian law didn't just fail survivors.

It forced them into silence.

A warning before we begin.

In this episode, Donna describes several crime scenes in graphic detail.

Nina Fennell is a Walkley Award-winning journalist and a survivor who helped overturn damaging gag laws in the Australian justice system.

The conversation includes references to domestic violence, suicide, and the death of a child.

She was the driving force behind the campaign that allowed women to finally speak their own names.

Please listen with care.

Her work doesn't just tell stories, it drives change.

Hi, I'm Gemma Bath, host of True Crime Conversations.

Donna Naylor pulls up in front of a house in Ballina, just below the New South Wales Queensland border.

And this very special two-part episode isn't just about the justice system.

the first thing she sees is a bloody handprint on the front door.

It's about what happens when women are finally heard.

A raw, honest look at the power of a single voice, how silence is shaped and how women push through it.

Sheets and doona covers have been plastered on the windows to stop the outside world looking in.

If you feel unsafe at any time, I want you to call the police.
