  • Women and Climate Change – Mehreen Faruqi
    Women and climate change – Mehreen Faruqi The theme for this morning “women and climate change’ combines two areas that I am adamant about making a change in – gender inequality and inaction on climate change. Unfortunately, in both areas we are disappointingly moving backwards in NSW and Australia, and I’d like to highlight some of these issues separately before looking into the interconnection between climate change and women. I grew up in Pakistan, a country that ranks 135 out of 136 in the global gender gap. So from an early age I was acutely aware of the inequality and discrimination that exists in law as well as societal norms which actually prevents women from access to education, work opportunities or fully participating in decision- making. Living in Pakistan, I always imagined prosperous countries like Australia having achieved gender equality in all spheres of life. So I was surprised when I arrived in Sydney 22 years ago and started my postgraduate studies in engineering, only to discover there was only one female academic amongst a fifty odd male teachers in the school of civil and environmental engineering at my university. Of course, judging gender equality is much more sophisticated than just measuring numbers in one particular institution and profession, but it is a good indicator of existing marginalisation. There is no doubt that much has been achieved through the successive waves of feminism over the last century. We’ve fought hard and won many battles - the right to vote and to run for parliament, to join the workforce and pursue careers in all professions.

  • You Can Download the NSW Caring Fairly Toolkit Here!
    A TOOLKIT: How carers in NSW can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in NSW by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In NSW, Caring Fairly is represented by Mental Health Carers NSW, Carers NSW and Flourish Australia. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life.
