## Resource

A mother of two, Lavanya Chappa, was fatally killed in a domestic violence incident, leaving her young children unharmed. Her husband, 39, faces murder charges and is in police custody. Loved ones remember her as a compassionate software analyst who touched countless lives — her cousin’s fundraiser has raised nearly $50,000. This tragedy is part of a grim national trend: 36 women have died in domestic violence-related murders in Australia this year alone. The national commissioner calls these deaths heartbreaking and urges a sustained national conversation on prevention, warning that silence won’t stop the violence.
