Floods, subs and the hijacking of IWD

Days after International Women's Day, we ask who gets to determine what's discussed on these days and why? We also highlight the fallout from the floods crisis, alongside the anger so many women feel in the response. Meanwhile, there's a bot that is exposing the actual gender pay gaps of the big employers sharing how awesome they are on IWD. And we take the example of Sally Flannery, doing extraordinary efforts in Lismore, to note the role of women in rescue and recovery efforts. The Women's Agenda Podcast is produced by Agenda Media, publisher of Women's Agenda. Stories discussed this week include: When the floods hit Lismore, Sally Flannery’s team coordination efforts saved livesI live in a flood impacted region.
