"Celebrated, not debated": The AHRC's answer on deficient exemption guidelines

At the AHRC's Sydney 'The Answer Is Human Rights' seminar, women asked one governance question: the Federal Court has found your exemption guidelines deficient — when will you fix them? No officer offered a date, a commitment, or even an acknowledgement of the finding. Emma and Lucy unpack what was said, what wasn't, and what it means for women who depend on female-only spaces and services. __DonateIf you wish to donate to AAWAA you can do so by making a direct deposit or bank transfer to:Account name: Affiliation of Australian Women’s Advocacy AlliancesAccount number: 04201471BSB: 325-185__Disclosure statementSome voices in this podcast are AI-generated clones of real, named AAWAA members, created and used with their informed consent to help amplify women's words and stories.
