Last week @Kate_Jenkins_ handed down the Respect@Work report on sexual harassment. It was informed by 60 consultations & drew on 460 submissions. Its 55 recommendations are vast & radical. But will the government implement them? @KZiwica isn't sure. https://t.co/wLt9lBgIVk
I would like to pay tribute to @AimeeCooper215@kamnamm@VicLegalAid and the 100 orgs of #power2prevent coalition, who proved old fashioned collective action works. @AusHumanRights sexual harassment inquiry could be a game changer...but we have to make its recs a reality.
These are the words of our @VicLegalAid clients who bravely shared their stories to create change. This #IWD2020 we're calling for urgent action to create sexual harassment free workplaces in Australia. Too many of us have experienced sexual harassment #metoo#power2prevent

This Sunday is #IWD2020. Let it be a reminder to men that the lived experience of women is different. Let it be a reminder that as much as Australia prides itself on egalitarianism, ours is an unequal society that privileges men at almost every turn.

In failing to convict Weinstein on the “predatory” nature of his conduct, the jury illustrated that they, like others, are still unwilling to look at the structures and enablers that help men like Weinstein become “predators”. Work to do. Me @smh@theage https://t.co/Hbbtjit1Rm
"The system still mostly fails survivors. Women who are poor, of color, who come forward alone — especially these women — will continue to be disbelieved and blamed....But the Weinstein verdicts indicate that we are beginning to correct course." https://t.co/KADMC4AiSz
Today is a victory for the #SilenceBreakers who refused to be silent about Weinstein, igniting a global reckoning.
It’s a victory for survivors everywhere - and for all those who believe in justice.
