This episode by journalism students from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) explores the decision by Muslim women to adopt the veil to cover their hair, bodies and faces.  We hear the stories of five Muslim women from different walks of life and racial backgrounds who live across Australia. They tell us their reasons for covering-up and the struggles they go through as visible representatives of their faith in the face of increasing Islamophobia.  By simply being themselves and choosing to don the hijab, these women are Making a Difference.

This episode produced by journalism students at Deakin University in Melbourne hears from people who are taking a stand to help others and, in some cases, themselves.

We talk to people working on the ground to stop the trade of human trafficking in south-east Asia.

We hear from the victims of online dating scams and their advice on how to avoid the traps.

We also learn about the challenges and successes of people who live with Tourette Syndrome – a neurological disorder that affects one-in-100 children in Australia. 

And there are the ways people are finding their voice to make a statement about fashion, politics, social issues and – in the case of social media influencers – themselves.

A look at dating, love and sex as more than simply social interactions but reflections of how we’re actually going through the various stages of the pandemic.

This month, journalism students at Curtin University in Perth look at how dating has changed in these virtual times.

Journalism students at Griffith University in Brisbane bring us stories about the power of communities.

They go to regional areas to see how First Nations people are banding together to improve vaccination rates.

We hear from Muslim Australians s trying to bridge the cultural and racial divide in this country.

The community radio station is under-rated but it's where careers are born and local voices are heard, and they need to be supported.

As the world grapples with the effects of climate change and warming oceans, we report on the challenge to save seaweed...for own good.

And there are few things more unifying and comforting than owning a pet. And that point has taken on even greater significance during the pandemic.
