What happens if we want to be invisible?

In this episode, we speak to Prudence Black about her works as a Research Associate at the University of Adelaide and the Department of Gender and Cultural studies at the University of Sydney about the experiences of invisibility from a range of perspectives. We explore the conundrum of self-inflected invisibility and the changing nature of the family structure that impacts modern gender roles today.

Dive into the conversation and join the movement to #stayvisible.

Is there a difference between men and women when they age? Join Kathy Williams as she explores the beauty myth, as anti-ageing discourse is celebrated for women, whilst men are revered as they age gracefully, morphing into George Clooney look-a-likes.

Invisibility is not just waiting the longest to be served at a bar. Invisibility is when opportunities dry up as you reach a certain age, and it's about your voice being drowned out amongst a sea of others. But we know that we are more than just our age. We are what we do, what we like, and what we are interested in. In this episode, Kathy touches on the work of The Office for Aging Well and its plan to fight ageism in South Australia.

In this episode, we speak to the South Australian Minister for Women, Katrine Hildyard. 128 years ago, South Australia became the first place in the world where women could both vote and stand for parliament. Fast forward to the present day, we speak to Katrine about the reality women are facing in South Australia that shows we still have a long way to go.

Listen to this episode as Katrine tells us about her burning passion for fairness, and the key policy areas that aim to tackle intersectionality, the pay gap, domestic violence and more.

What does invisibility look like when you live in a regional area? In this episode of The Invisible Woman, Fiona Doorman explores how geographical barriers compound existing issues for women living outside of metro areas.

Fiona Dorman is the President of the National Council of Women South Australia and National Vice President of the National Council of Women Australia. Join us as she outlines the power of diversity, and what we can do better to ensure everybody has a seat at the decision-making table.

In this episode, we speak to Fiona Dorman, President of the National Council of Women South Australia and

National Vice President of the National Council of Women Australia about current issues women are facing, like how climate change is affecting women more than men, and why our society is allowing women to become invisible once they reach age 50.

Join Dr Emily Porter as she responds to how we can tackle the gender divide in Australia.

In the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index, Australia was ranked 25th out of 182 countries back in 2013. Now, we have dropped to 50th place. Whilst we are ranked equal 1st for the education for women, we are ranked 70th in economic participation.

In the final part of our In Conversation episodes, we ask Dr Porter: What sorts of gaps do you see in the system, as not being met by those millions invested by the government?

In the second part of our In Conversation episodes, the experts call for a gender lens to be incorporated across all issues, as current infrastructure and systems do not reflect the reality women face. Tania Farha, CEO, Safe and Equal; Jeanette Large, CEO, Women’s Property Initiative; and Dr Emily Porter, Senior Research Fellow, Brotherhood of St Lawrence outline the root causes and viable interventions in relation to the key issues women are currently facing.

The issues of family violence, women’s homelessness and economic security are not mutually exclusive, they often always occur in conjunction with one another. Join Tania Farha, CEO, Safe and Equal; Jeanette Large, CEO, Women’s Property Initiative; and Dr Emily Porter, Senior Research Fellow, Brotherhood of St Lawrence as they describe a snapshot of the current circumstances affecting women in Victoria.

This ‘In Conversation’ event is moderated by Julie Riley OAM, CEO of Australians Investing in Women.
