RESPONSE TO HARRIET ALEXANDER SYDNEY MORNING HERALD ARTICLE - 28 September 2025

SMH journalist Harriet Alexander requested our comment prior to publication of the SMH article. This is the letter which was sent

Dear Ms Alexander,

I refer to your email of 25 September regarding recently finalised Supreme Court proceedings and your request for a response.

Defences containing comprehensive denials of all allegations made by the plaintiff were filed in the proceedings in July 2024.

The essence of the Defences was that the alleged events did not take place, were not capable of taking place, and a central allegation was said to have occurred in 2005 at a time when Mr Dyers was, as shown in subpoenaed hospital records, in hospital for a week when he was 83. Mr Dyers passed away in 2007.

The Defences are all on the court file and we hope that you will read them carefully.

The matter was settled to avoid further costs and expense. No admission of liability was made. The defendants are pleased with the outcome and feel completely vindicated by it.

Sincerely,
Jan Hamilton

WOMEN IN SUPPORT OF KENJA

We, women who have trained in Kenja, and our friends and families, totally reject the recent allegations made in the media by various persons.

As independent women, confident of our own abilities and pursuing our own course in life, we must speak out in defence of the late Ken Dyers and the Kenja organisation.

Over the past 30 years, the personal and professional integrity of Ken Dyers and the practices of the Kenja organisation, which he co-founded with Jan Hamilton in 1982, have been the target of a vicious and carefully orchestrated attack.

This attack has been designed to destroy the reputation and credibility of Ken Dyers and Kenja by allegations that Mr Dyers abused the trust of vulnerable women and is guilty of sexual abuse and other exploitation. This is a lie.

Based on our own personal experience over decades, until his passing in 2007, Ken Dyers was an individual who respected women. At no time was any of us ever in any way sexually compromised, exploited or manipulated by Ken Dyers. He never approached any of us with any personal sexual interest or sought any personal connection with us whatsoever.

His refusal to compromise these ethics made him a very rare individual. His exemplary behaviour towards women and respect for their lives has inspired many women and men to relate to each other in a more creative, independent and respectful way.

The training at Kenja enables women to take charge of their own lives, to choose their own paths and to grow and expand in all aspects of their lives, to obtain life skills and to survive as individuals, independently or within relationships.
