Ged Moriarty (they/them) is the Research and Evaluation Coordinator at The Man Cave, Australia’s leading youth preventative mental health charity.
Ged graduated from the UQ in 2021, with first-class honours in their Criminology and Criminal Justice degree. Their thesis looked at how threats of fire manifest as a form of coercive control.
Following this, Ged worked on a project that aimed at transforming the lives of mothers in custody and their children, prioritising the worldviews of First Nations’ individuals. These experiences have ingrained a passion in them to continue empowering those around them to be heard and valued.
