The ANU Women’s Department is proud to announce their latest panel: Failure to Launch. This panel is part of the Women’s Department campaign or semester 2 2020, revolving around sexual assault and sexual harassment advocacy in the student space and broader Australian society. The question they will explore, one that is at the heart of this panel and their campaign is “Why Has #MeToo Not Taken Off in Australia?”
At the ANU Women’s Department, this matter touches the core of their community and they firmly believe that it is an issue of great importance that should be discussed in an accessible and intersectional manner.
Encompassed within this question are the themes of advocacy in this space, defamation laws and journalistic practices. They will be joined by four incredible women to discuss this question and shed some light on possible explanations. Confirmed panellists are Bri Lee and Nina Funnell. Please stay tuned for our remaining panellist and moderator!
Tickets are free, but registration via EventBrite is necessary.
To all survivors, we see you, we hear you and we stand with you.
