2025 Update: Gender-Based Violence and Community Action

Join us for a pivotal panel discussion addressing critical challenges to women’s rights and safety today. 
You will be part of a transformative conversation on building a safer, inclusive community:

• Understanding the rise in misogynistic attitudes and policy impacts.
• Identifying pressing issues within Australia’s women’s rights landscape.
• Moving beyond the victim-survivor framework, fostering a reimagined dialogue that invites men as allies and emphasises community-wide accountability for safety.
