Why Taking Up Space matters
- In Australia each week 1 woman is killed at the hands of a previous or current partner.
- The fastest-growing cohort to experience homelessness is women over the age of 55
- Australia’s full-time gender pay gap is 14.2%, with women earning on average $261.50 per week less than men
- 1 in 2 women in Australia are currently experiencing mental illness in 2022
- Australia’s climate has warmed on average by 1.47 (+/-0.24) degrees since 1910, leading to more frequent extreme heat events
Let’s come together so that more women and non-binary people can create change, large and small, in their lives and in the communities which they live.
How to Take Up Space
be Visible
Stand straight and tall, step forward, hold your ground.
Be seen, as you are.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of your progress. Choose a platform that works for you.
Be Heard
Firstly in your own head.
Create the internal chatter that supports you to be bold.
Then express it so you are heard, felt and acknowledged.
be You
Shoulder pads, big hair and power meetings are thankfully in our past. You get to Take Up Space in a way that
reflects who you are and how you want to be.
