Message to women? Watch out

from The Women's Agenda Podcast

We find the wins in an otherwise difficult week on progress for women at work, given what's happened in parliament. We look at a new app for reporting racism and sexual misconduct, the Hollywood actors calling out ageism, and share an excellent interview with Effie Zahos, author and one of Australia's leading personal finance commentators. But also this week we delve into the 'dehumanising' of sexual assault victim-survivors that has occurred via the media and in politics, and whether women are being sent a message to 'watch out'. Finally, we examine the research finding that when men believe they are allies, women often disagree. Effie is one of Australia's leading personal finance commentators with more than two decades of experience helping Australians make the most of their money.Stories mentioned this week include: Report it: Div Pillay’s rolling out anonymous reporting to help end racism and discrimination at workSay ‘you look good’ without adding ‘for your age’: Hollywood stars speak up about ageingThe message to women on coming forward? ‘Watch out’Sexual assault support services warn of ‘dehumanising’ victim-survivors amid Brittany Higgins’ leaked textsWhen men believe they are allies, women often disagreeCheck out Effie’s quiz - Test My Money IQ: Financial Literacy Quiz | Canstar Hosted on Acast.
