Putting women at the centre: a policy forum

Women's Policy Action Tank

Putting women at the centre: a policy forum

What happens when we put women at the centre of our policy thinking and processes? This forum will cast a gender lens over policy design and implementation in selected key areas impacting women’s wellbeing, searching for the threads that link the experiences of diverse groups of women and the patterns of disadvantage that patriarchy creates. The forum will draw together a program and an audience reflecting the many types of expertise in community, legal, health, academic and government sectors. Putting women at the centre also means creating woman-centred processes and user-centred perspectives, asking how policy ‘lands’ and what tensions are held and challenges negotiated in the process.
