After leaving a toxic relationship in 2024, Kara* was faced with a harsh reality: finding a stable home for her and her son and pet cat was next to impossible.

In his entire first year at school, Anissa’s son, Massimo wasn’t invited to a single birthday party or playdate.

At the time, the Melbourne mum didn’t think much of it – but it turned out to be something that would eventually break her heart into a million pieces.

That’s because one year stretched to several more, and sadly, at nine years old, Massimo was yet to receive his first birthday invitation – or even one for a playdate.

MORE THAN 150 YEARS AGO IN AUSTRALIA, women couldn’t vote, couldn’t access the contraceptive pill (unless they had a husband), couldn’t drink in public bars, and had little to no abortion rights.
