Tarang Chawla

I want to...

Shout out, I don't know if he listens to our podcast, but we will get him on it, but Tarang Chawla, who is just an amazing human being.

And just his social media posts, just they're intelligent, they're passionate, they're... coming from a world of common sense and a world of heart.

And it's something that I think we need to all really take a step and listen to and really let sink in some of the things that people like him are saying.

And I think it is really hard to, to do that.

Um, there is a guy, I think I've referred to him before, Tarang Chawla.

He is very active in speaking up and speaking out, and giving this message that of course it's not all men, but we want men to speak up, to, to stand up to it, to support, you know, the movement against this.

Mm.

Like you mentioned, a lot of social media on this.

And one of the ones that really resonated me was Tarang Chawla, who is an Indian-born Australian writer, a lawyer and an activist, and he actually ran for politics at some point.

He comments on... violence, men's violence against women, partly because his sister was murdered in a domestic violence situation, which is incredibly sad.

But he did a couple of, he's done quite a few posts on Sam Wood this week.

The allegations, let me be clear, that he's been involved in a domestic violence incident at Noosa.

And I saw a really interesting post by a guy called Tarang Chawla.

And Tarang's own sister was murdered by her partner.

And Tarang was a Young Australian of the Year and several other things as I googled him and became more familiar with his story.

They were a fun group of boys and boys will be boys.

I got that information from the platform of Tarang Chawla who is another really amazing advocate against women you know against male violence against women

right so this cultural attitude has been under the spotlight there was an august release of monash uni's research into sexism and misogyny in australian schools this was a national survey from 2600 um teachers and found that 78% of respondents reported observing or experiencing sexism or misogyny in school, while one in three observed or experienced this frequently.

So what responsibilities are our institutions failing to live up to, and what should they be doing differently? I'm Ruby Jones, and you're listening to 7AM.

Today, advocate Tarang Chawla on the so-called Cornell Seven, and what the case tells us about misogyny at home.

It's Friday, October two.

And a warning: while we try not to get too graphic, this episode does cover sexual assault.
