Ep.130: International Women’s Day 2022 - Mic Handover

Dunn Street founder and Community Organiser Stephen Donnelly was joined by Maurice Blackburn’s Liberty Sanger, SDA’s Julia Fox, and Victorian Labor MP Nat Hutchins for our annual International Women’s Day mic handover. Catching up 12 months later from the first handover, Liberty, Julia, and Nat return to Socially Democratic to follow up on the issues discussed last year and unpack the current issues facing women today. They discuss the relevance of International Women’s Day, debating whether it is celebrated appropriately or used as a PR stunt, the key issues that will matter to women this election year, including the gender pay gap, safety in the workplace and at home, the impact of the pandemic, and the abuse of women candidates in local elections. They also discuss the challenges of raising young men in a gendered world, the gendered impact of rostering and the problems with childcare, and what they hope to see changed in the next twelve months. The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
