Hugh Stretton’s passionate manifesto, ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog Fair, wondered if fairness was still our defining national characteristic. Almost 20 years later, how are we faring?
As ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn public life faces a ‘reckoning’ over discrimination and disrespect of women, Natasha will examine how the pandemic and other world events, make the creation of a fairer world that much more challenging, especially when it comes to violence against women and girls.
Perhaps now is the time for a new manifesto - for change.
Join the Stretton Institute for its Annual Hugh Stretton oration. This year's orator is Natasha Stott Despoja AO, an ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn politician, diplomat, gender equality advocate, non executive director and author. Natasha is a member of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), an alumnus of the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide and in 2021 was the proud recipient of an Honorary Doctorate.
