Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody addressed the National Press Club this month, and it’s definitely worth watching online.

Dr Cody says we are at a critical moment for gender equality, calling on governments and workplaces to reimagine gender norms, concepts of merit, economic equality and how we approach gendered violence. She called for a ban on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in workplace sexual harassment cases, except where they are requested by a victim-survivors who has access to legal advice.

Dr Cody advocated for a new approach to caregiving, recognising that it is a shared responsibility, and being both a worker and a carer at the same time is the reality for most of us.”
