In her early 30s, it looked like Emma had it all: an international career, three young children, including a set of twins, creative pursuits and a seemingly glamorous life.

Gender Equality Starts with You: 

Gender inequality plays out in Australian workplaces every day. Women make up only 5% of CEOs of ASX 200 & ASX 500 companies, and most boards are still dominated by men. A gender pay gap of 13.8% persists. 1 in 3 people have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, and rates are even higher for First Nations people, women with disabilities, and gender-diverse individuals. To advance gender equality in Australia, reduce rates of harassment, and inspire a new generation of leaders, an innovative and evidence-based approach to education is essential. Emma explains what workplaces need to do to create meaningful change.
