From Bangalore to Balmain – Padma Raman’s lifelong advocacy for women and girls

from Big Ideas · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

The racism and resilience Padma Raman’s parents experienced lit a social justice fire in her early on. She landed on the sunny shores of Sydney in the 1980s and watched both her parents face racism and discrimination seeking work.  She’s gone on to dedicate her career to making the world a better place for women and girls. It’s taken her to the halls of Federal Parliament and the United Nations. The Pamela Denoon lecture is presented by the ANU Gender Institute and the National Foundation for Australian Women. SpeakersPadma Raman PSMExecutive Director Office for Women at the Department of the Prime Minister and CabinetAkrti TyagiHead of Digital at Girls Run the World Sally MoyleDeputy Chair of the National Foundation for Australian Women
