Jess Hill

I am a journalist, author and speaker who focuses primarily on social issues and gendered violence. I started my career almost 15 years ago as a producer for ABC Radio, went on to become a Middle East correspondent for The Global Mail, and then an investigative journalist for Background Briefing. My reporting has won two Walkley awards, an Amnesty International award and three Our Watch awards. My first book, SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, on the phenomenon of domestic abuse and coercive control, was released in 2019 and was awarded the 2020 Stella Prize. In 2021, it was adapted into a series on SBS. Recent projects include a podcast series on coercive control and patriarchy called The Trap, and a Quarterly Essay on how #MeToo has changed Australia, titled 'The Reckoning'. Since the book was released, I've spoken at almost 300 public events about coercive control, and regularly conduct training and education for groups as diverse as magistrates, high school students, workplaces and local councils.
