Silence from the top: Top officials say nothing as Australia's CSW record deepens

Emma and Luci cover AAWAA's follow-up communication to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, ahead of the 1 August deadline for submissions to CSW71. They discuss the continued silence from Australia's CSW70 delegation since AAWAA first wrote to them in March, and what the new submission documents — Federal Court findings on the Sex Discrimination Act, the AHRC's refusal to act on them, self-ID data from New South Wales, and Western Australia's surrogacy law passed with no genuine parliamentary scrutiny.__DonateIf you wish to donate to AAWAA you can do so by making a direct deposit or bank transfer to:Account name: Affiliation of Australian Women’s Advocacy AlliancesAccount number: 04201471BSB: 325-185__Disclosure statementVoices in this podcast are AI-generated clones of real, named AAWAA members, created and used with their informed consent to help amplify women's words and stories.
