‘What Happens Next?’
Hear Her Roar: Women’s Safety & Gender Equality | 74

“Hear me now”: 2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame's acceptance speech was a rally cry that reverberated across the nation. Thousands of women marched for safety in their homes, schools, workplaces and public spaces.

The recent federal election clearly demonstrated that what matters to women voters should not be ignored. In a live, bonus episode of Monash University's ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, a panel of experts unpacks women’s safety and gender equality in the wake of COVID-19.

Today's guests are Professor Jacqui True, Director of Monash’s Centre for Gender, Peace and Security; Dr Siru Tan, a research fellow at the Monash University Gender and Family Violence Prevention Centre; and Australian political scientist Dr Blair Williams.

A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens.
