Forging a more gender equal future
|
There's been immense social and economic upheaval since the global pandemic first began, and although it's nice to think that we're, 'All in this together,' there's no escaping the fact that people - and genders - have been impacted differently.
For women, COVID-19 has thrown another curve ball into the work-life-balance juggling act, and a collection of essays called Work.Love.Body. is shining a light on Australian women's experiences and asking important questions about the kind of future we all want for our mums, daughters, sisters and selves.
To learn more about the Australian experience and see how we can forge a gender equal future closer to home, we spoke with Jamila Rizvi, Co-editor of Work.Love.Body.

The benefits of bare feet
|

Wearing no shoes supports young children's learning and development, and although you might worry that your under five will trip on something - or step in something - there are some very good reasons to lose the shoes and put your child's feet first.
