Plan International this year released its first Gender Compass report that found a majority of the Australian population think we’ve achieved gender equality. What’s more, they found dangerous gaps in knowledge amongst pockets of the community about the inequalities that women and girls face everyday.
At our final event for 2024, hosted and sponsored by DCA’s Gender Equality Network partner KPMG Australia, DCA’s CEO Lisa Annese (she/her) was joined by Research Advisor Dr. Rebecca Huntley (she/her) to explore Plan International Australia’s Gender Compass. Rebecca shared insights from the analysis and explained how this information can help reshape conversations about gender equality, addressing backlash and resistance effectively.
Following Rebecca’s presentation, our guest panel unpacked what it means for efforts to promote gender equality in the workplace and beyond, and what is required for more targeted and effective actions.
The guest panel included:
- Dorothy Hisgrove (she/her), National Managing Partner for People & Inclusion, KPMG Australia
- Hunter Johnson (he/him), CEO, The Man Cave
- Mary Wooldridge (she/her), CEO, Workplace Gender Equality Agency
- Molina Asthana (she/her), Immediate Past National President of the Asian Australian Lawyers Association
