By now we know that Donald Trump isn’t exactly a fan of strong, smart women in the media.

But the way he reacts to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is truly unhinged. The more he attacks her, the more she deadpan stares him down, and asks another probing question. It’s amazing to watch. Madeline Hislop looks into their dynamic more.

Leaving an abusive relationship is often treated as the finish line. Melanie Greblo, a victim-survivor herself, argues it's only the beginning. And that without financial independence and meaningful employment, too many women are left to rebuild their lives without the support they need.

Elsewhere, Palestinian mothers in Gaza are struggling to breastfeed their infants more than 10 months since the ‘ceasefire’ agreement was put in place, a new report ahead of World Breastfeeding Week has found.

Also today, a year after major childcare safety reforms were introduced, questions remain about whether our kids are any safer.

And finally, we sit down with entrepreneur Keria Rumble, who shares how she turned some of life's toughest challenges--- including infertility, pregnancy loss and postpartum mental health struggles—into the inspiration behind three successful wellness brands.

Thanks to the support of CommBank Women in Focus for supporting us to share more female founder journeys.

Enjoy the weekend!
