Safeguarding our status: What women need from anti-discrimination law reform

Emma chats with Lucy to unpack the NSW Women’s Action Alliance submission to the state’s Anti-Discrimination Act review. They discuss why legal clarity about ‘sex’ is vital, what’s at stake if anti-discrimination law moves to a ‘gender’ model, and how administrative shortcuts put women and girls at risk of losing crucial protections in healthcare, sport, crisis services, and public life. Drawing on both international obligations and hard lessons from recent NSW legislation, Emma and Lucy challenge the Law Reform Commission to resist expedient fixes and commit to robust sexed-based protections and rights for women.This podcast provides general information and opinion only and does not constitute legal advice.
