Elizabeth Broderick AO, Australia’s longest-serving Sex Discrimination Commissioner (2007–2015) and founder of the Champions of Change Coalition, joins speaker bureau member, Romilly Madew AO for a wide-ranging conversation on gender equality.
They explore the broad and complex nature of this global challenge. From embedding everyday respect in organisations, to navigating the influencer culture while raising the next generation of women.
The conversation covers the persistent barriers women face worldwide. As well as the incredible progress that developing countries like Iran and India are making to get gender equality in STEM careers.
In Australia, nearly a third of people think that gender equality is a done deal. The reality is that just 18 per cent of engineering students are women. Elizabeth discusses how the Champions of Change Coalition is helping to address these gaps and diffuse the “awkward moments” in day-to-day corporate life with the help of leaders and male colleagues.
