A chat amongst women

Last week ActionAid Australia organised an evening to bring women together for an exchange of ideas on issues of women’s rights in a global context. Holly Miller from ActionAid stresses the importance of meeting and chatting to create change for women here and internationally.

In our action oriented society, there’s almost a stigma against sitting around talking. But there’s real power in having a chat. Particularly a chat amongst women.

In the lead up to International Women’s Day last week, ActionAid Australia hosted an event that sought to bring women – and the men that support us – together. The aim of the evening was simply to provide a forum for a bit of a… chat, really, about issues of women’s rights in the global context.
