Sexual consent activist Chanel Contos addressed the National Press Club this week in the wake of the tragic murder of 21-year-old teacher Lilie James. 

James became the fourth woman in 10 days to be allegedly killed by a man known to her, highlighting the ongoing crisis of gendered violence in Australia.
