How women are represented and seen by society impacts hugely on their status in our communities. Gender inequality has its root causes in our cultural attitudes to women.
This IWD2019 conversation takes a long hard look at what representation looks like -- in the news, on our screens, on stages, in Parliament and policy.
Panelists Timmah Ball, Rachael Brown, Santilla Chingaipe, Jane Gilmore and chair Veronica Sullivan unpick the ways we see women as a defining factor of how women's lives unfold.
Hosted by the Victorian government's Department of Premier and Cabinet for IWD2019.
