Truth to power - how young leaders are reshaping Australia
Channel: ANU TV
Date: 09/03/2022

The Global Institute for Women's Leadership is pleased to present an International Women's Day event celebrating and exploring the power of young leaders to drive change.

In 2021, Australia's national conversation was shaped by many incredibly courageous and powerful young leaders - from Australian of the Year Grace Tame, who used the role to become a fearless advocate for survivors of child sexual abuse, to Brittany Higgins who bravely spoke up about a culture of bullying and misogyny in Parliament House that shook Australian politics to its core, and Chanel Contos who uncovered the seedy underbelly of sexual assault in schools and led efforts to improve consent education in schools.

Drawing on the examples of these incredible young women, serving as lightning rods for change, this event explores the power of young people to diversify the voices and experiences that we hear through our established social and political power structures and drive genuine change.
