Feminist Question Time Australia & New Zealand Women's Human Rights Campaign (WHRC) Feminist Question Time. Our weekly online webinars are attended by a global feminist and activist audience of between 300-400. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. You can see recordings of previous panels on our YouTube Channel. This week’s speakers: Anna Kerr lives and works on the land of the Gadigal and Wangal Peoples of the Eora Nation whose way of life has been devastated by colonisation. Anna is a founder and the Principal Solicitor of Feminist Legal Clinic Inc. and her legal practice is equally split between domestic violence and discrimination cases. In recent years Anna has also held a variety of other positions including Co-Chair of the Women and Girl's Rights Subcommittee of Australian Lawyers for Human Rights, elected member of the Steering Group of the Equality Rights Alliance, committee member of the Edna Ryan Committee, member of the NSW Women's Electoral Lobby Pro Choice Alliance and member of the NSW Greens Women's Working Group. In all these positions she has experienced aggressive moves to oust her as a result of her efforts to defend women's sex-based rights. She will talk tonight about her latest experience with being cancelled by misguided forces for progress. Madeleine Valdor lives on Guringai country, with her partner and two children. She works in public health, she is a trained counsellor and director of a civil society organisation focused on maternal-child wellbeing. Jessica Hoyle lives in the Stoney Creek Nation of lutruwita, Tasmania on the land of the LedDERemairenner people. Born and bred in Launceston, she used to work in hospitality and now works for herself at home where she is also a carer for her mum. Professor Emerita of Transnational Studies Bronwyn Winter, lives on the land of the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora Nation. She is a long time feminist, lesbian and trade union activist in France, Australia, briefly in the UK, and transnationally. My interdisciplinary academic work has covered various themes, but addressing various forms of violence against women has always been a core preoccupation. More information: www.womensdeclaration.com
