 Six women. Six generations.

Generation Women celebrates and amplifies women’s voices and creativity. Each month, six women of note read an original piece on a theme. Of those women, one is in her 20s, her 30s, her 40s, her 50s, her 60s, and her 70s+. 

Women's Business supported the March 4 Justice organisers to ensure that Indigenous women were represented at some of their marches. March4Justice events occurred across the country after  weeks of distressing allegations that include alleged rapes inside  Parliament House.  Dunghutti woman Marie Barbaric said "...she knew the system did not  work for women in general and especially women of colour.' 

In May 2021, we launched the first in a series of Political Candidate Training Workshops for Women of Colour.  Sponsored by Trawalla Foundation and Women's Leadership Institute Australia, our one day workshops teach women of colour 'how to get elected'.
