Equality Rights Alliance

In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women's Day, Sydney Feminists are hosting a screening of “I Was a Teenage Feminist”, a woman’s personal exploration of her identification with the movement both in the 70s and today.

The film will be followed by a relaxed networking and discussion opportunity. People of all genders welcome! Age restriction 18+ as alcohol will be served at the venue.

I WAS A TEENAGE FEMINIST is a personal journey into a powerful, political movement that once sparked passionate response and social revolution, but now routinely evokes discomfort, indifference and even disdain.

Armed with a video camera, an inquiring mind, and an irreverent sense of humor, filmmaker Therese Shechter crisscrosses both the continent and her own psyche in the hope of reconnecting to the power and sense of purpose that feminism gave her as a teenager in the 1970s.

See the trailer on Youtube here. More info on the film can also be found at the Sydney Feminists website.   

Cost of entry is a gold coin donation. 

We live in a world where money is the basis of status, power and freedom, and yet women are expected to perform society's unpaid work; often to give up their jobs or their careers to care for children and/or for aged parents. This has profound implications for financial freedom and independence.

In this lecture Marilyn Waring will explore options to overcome barriers to achieving recognition and a fair wage for care workers. She asks what options are there to change the dynamic of centuries old expectations?

In 2005 Marilyn Waring was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and she was recently named as one of 50 women most likely to change the world. Her ground-breaking book Counting for Nothing: what men value and what women are worth, founded feminist economics, and she is the global policy expert on this crucial issue. For more information on Marilyn Waring's work visit her website.
