Blake Lively's It Ends With Us 'romanticises and glamorises domestic violence, needs a trigger warning' says prominent feminist activist


Australian victim-survivors of domestic abuse are being 'triggered' and 're-traumatised' by Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's new film, according to one prominent activist.

The Guardian detailed a new report by the Australian Institute of Criminology on April 30, which said the rate of women killed by an intimate partner in Australia increased by nearly 30 per cent in 2022-23 compared with the previous year. The previous weekend (26 to 28 April), a media blitz backing Williams' No More rallies saw more than one-hundred thousand Australians march across 17 locations chanting to end violence against women. Meanwhile, Blake is back-tracking on refusing to address the film's themes and has been sharing domestic violence helplines to her social media accounts in earnest over the last 24 hours.
