From President, Ronniet Milliken:
Gender Equality NOT ‘covid normal’Will gender equity be achieved by 2050? The media take on community sentiment is that we are hankering for ’covid normal’. At NCWV we look to our Purpose and continue to aspire for and advocate for gender equality – to be achieved in the short term. In 2021 we will consider known/likely topics requiring action during this year and beyond, building on past efforts, considering our resources, becoming more informed, advocating action where appropriate; and holding our leaders to account.
The following newsletters are now available: July 2021, June 2021, May 2021
Briefing paper covering the following topics is now available.
2021 Briefing - Aged Care: Where to next? Is there the Political Will to Fix the System?
2021 Briefing - Three-year-old kindergarten and four-year-old kindergarten should be free
