Manage this. Women’s voices on Income Management.
It’s your world – it needs your feminist thinking

6pm - Tuesday 31 July
Teacher’s Federation NSW - 23-33 Mary Street, Surry Hills

No matter what your stance is on Income Management, the role it has played in the Northern Territory and plans now in place to see it rolled out around Australia – it cannot be denied that women’s experience of the policy is central to the debates that currently swirl around the issue.

A recent report by Equality Rights Alliance found that many women did not feel safer under the policy and that it often resulted in feelings of a loss of respect and dignity.

As the Government rolls this policy out to five test sites around the country – what is this going to mean for women more generally in Australia? And is this policy really the answer?

Come along and hear:

• Ms Randa Kattan - Executive Director of Arab Council Australia and spokesperson for Stop the Intervention Sydney.
• Eva Cox - writer, feminist, sociologist, social commentator and activist.
