#winningwednesday: Last week, Belinda Sharpe stepped into history as the first female #NRL referee, a breakthrough for the NRL, which has not seen a woman in control of a game in its 111-year history 🙌 https://t.co/yxxnbqhFj5 #agec #genderequality #genderpaygap #itstime

Of the 32 million page views/day that English Wikipedia gets ~90% are created by white men in Nth America. A gender gap-bridging project has added 670 profiles since 2017 about women and other minorities in science and engineering 🙌 https://t.co/DUxqEwa64y

Girls are paid 27% less pocket money than boys @TerryFitz1815 explains - shouldn’t shock us because it’s similar in the workplace #WlaSymp

@ausgenderequal Free universal childcare, after school and vacation care during hours that reflect contemporary working life.

[Australian Gender Equality Council @ausgenderequal]

This is appalling. Within the health care industry, despite representing 79 per cent of the health workforce, women are paid 25 per cent less per hour than men. #payequality #paygap https://t.co/WtUEo40Inx

And there is more to come from this study...

Another great piece about our world-first research looking at confidence levels of adolescent girls in comparison to boys via @marieclaireau https://t.co/nPXTN4dnhV

It is about time we seriously considered quotas in Parliament at both State and Federal level.

[Australian Gender Equality Council @ausgenderequal]

This is a vital step by @sussanley towards a more representative and diverse parliament 👏🏼👏🏼 via @australian https://t.co/2rd2oJ3QBg

This has been a hot topic here of late: Emotional labour - another load women carry #morework #women #genderequality #agec #ItsTime https://t.co/r6EnWgoEdM

[WGEA Director @WGEADirector]

Check this out and get a #snapshot of our new #GenderEquality data. We are looking better each year. Well done #Australian employers 👏🏼👏🏼

@ausgenderequal @Kate_McCallum @FrBower @bairdjulia @annabelcrabb @DavidLeyonhjelm @SkyNewsAust @sarahinthesen8 Absolutely appalling. Parliament should be the showcase of our anti-discrimination laws not the place where they are flouted and then condoned by a supposed high caliber news channel.

@WGEADirector @WGEAgency Thankyou WGEA!!!!!

[Australian Gender Equality Council @ausgenderequal]

@Kate_McCallum Yes. Fact after fact is put forward about the reality of gender bias, gender pay gap etc...and then - because we have to keep repeating the message ad infinitum because it's not getting through (QED) - are accused of having some sort of femininist-only dialogue! #working4balance

@ausgenderequal @FionaPearman @VictoriaWeekes1 How can we afford not to?

In the quest for higher education at Harvard, a different kind of search - for female professors https://t.co/MIlJW8enK2 #harvard #opendata #genderdisparity #letsfixthis #agec #ItsTime

[Terry Fitzsimmons @TerryFitz1815]

@ausgenderequal There is no equity in that at all.

[Australian Gender Equality Council @ausgenderequal]

Now THAT is strength in numbers - 20,000 people marched in Bern, Switzerland to protest against unequal pay https://t.co/PCGOIl46ij #switzerland #agec #ItsTime #equalpay

[UQ News @UQ_News]

@uqbs researcher @TerryFitz1815 has teamed up with @ausgenderequal to examine the causes of gender inequality in Australia.
