International Women's Day event

Council hosted an event with author and advocate Jane Gilmore on Wednesday 5 March. Thanks to those who came along.

Jane shared her important work towards gender equality, headlined by her decade-long FixedIt campaign which continues to change how media reports on men’s violence against women.

The TEDx Talk speaker and author – who has published Fixed It as well as Teaching Consent and Fairy Tale Princesses Will Kill Your Children – also highlighted how the community can take small steps together to advance gender equality.
