Our study published today in Lancet Public Health reveals considerable variance in how different domains of unpaid labour affect mental health, as well as continued inequity in the division of unpaid labour in households. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti… #gender #inequality @unimelbMSPGH

Good article by Daisy Turnball. Imperative that we keep having these vital conversations, especially with our youth, and keep working tirelessly to shift damaging gender norms in this country. apple.news/A7xgVOIrLSDSisRKF…

Boys, we need to talk: As women die violently, too many can’t see a problem

In Australia, between 2008 to 2022, only 1.1% of published studies from leading Australian journals focused on migrant and refugee population! @iFECCA #Helen Skouteris

An exemplary piece of libertarian and egalitarian thinking. Live long and prosper, Daniel. Your generation is mighty. theage.com.au/national/i-m-m…

I’m Melbourne Grammar’s school captain and I’m gay. The Presbyterian Church would have me sacked

I should not have to pen this opinion piece. Not in modern Australia. But here I am, a student, writing an open letter to a group of adults.

You Can’t Unsee What It Looks Like When You Photoshop Men Out of Politics. (ElleUK shows what it looks like when you remove all the men from pictures of politicians and celebrities. It’s a stark glimpse at a world that is wildly out of balance.) 2017. boredpanda.com/no-men-politi…

Prejudice, poor pay and the ‘urinary leash’: naming and claiming Australia’s forgotten women...

A new book explores a paradox: women have been excluded from Australian science for many social and political reasons, but were also present and active in it from its earliest days.

UK contemporary sculptor known as Anna & the Willow creates nature-inspired sculptures made from rods of willow #WomensArt
Photograph of a scuplture in a woodland setting, the sculpture features a figure in a long dress in a pose as if about to release an arrow from a bow, facing away from the viewer, the figure looks female and is constructed with many brown willow strands twisted into shape, it stands on a path surrounded by trees

It's not that women can't work, or don't want to work, it's the other bits of life that the world wants from them and the expectations of gender that get in the way. Excellent article by @kitmcmahon linkedin.com/pulse/changing-…

Changing our gender segregated skills system needs a systemic approach - that will fix the skills...

For many decades Australia's labour market and skills systems have consistently reported an intransigent reality - Australia has jobs that blokes do, and jobs that chicks do. And I use those terms...

Women are at greater risk of job loss and sustained employment precarity after the covid-19 pandemic, with consequential effects on their health and wellbeing. Responses to covid-19 must attend to gendered effects. See our article with @humairamaheen @ytaouk & Tony LaMontagne

Women’s disproportionate experience of job losses owing to covid-19 means they are at particular risk of experiencing sustained health consequences. An explicit gender focus must frame our responses to covid-19, say @TaniaLKing and colleagues bmj.com/content/380/bmj-2022…

Precarious work and the covid-19 pandemic: the need for a gender equality focus

Tania King and colleagues argue that lessons learnt from previous crises and an explicit focus on gender should shape responses to reduce inequalities in job losses and sustained employment precarity...
