In Australia so far this year, a woman has been violently killed every four days, often by their former or current partner. Research shows that during a disaster, violence and aggressive behaviour towards women increases.

Andrew and Josh recently spoke with Dr Debra Parkinson and Stephen O'Malley AFSM from Gender and Disaster Australia on the podcast to discuss how relationship issues and violent behaviour can be exacerbated during a disaster - and what can be done to reduce the likelihood of domestic violence occurring.

Research as far back as 1992 indicates a disturbing trend in Australia, with increased violence and aggression from men towards woman after a disaster.

This month Andrew and Joshua are joined by experts Dr Debra Parkinson and Steve O'Malley AFSM from Gender and Disaster Australia to explore the rise in domestic violence following a disaster, such as a bushfire or flood.

This episode examines how societal expectations of gender roles can exacerbate relationship issues under the pressure of a disaster, and how expectations of masculinity, such as being strong and self-reliant, can discourage seeking help and lead to misdirected coping behaviours.

Only one tree remained on the shore of Rikuzentaka

Only one tree remained on the shore of Rikuzentakata, Japan after the 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake and Tsunami - the 'Miracle' Pine.

The 170 year old pine was part of a forest of 70,000 trees that was originally built as a natural barrier to reduce the impact of wind and waves. After the tree died from seawater contamination in 2012, parts of the tree were incorporated into a replica sculpture, built as a symbol of hope within the Tsunami Recovery Memorial Park.

The tree serves as a reminder of the impact and scale of the tsunami and supports disaster storytelling to encourage resilient development in the future.

Andrew and Josh visited the Miracle Pine earlier this year - check out more content on Youtube at https://disaste.rs/ytube
