It is with extreme sadness that we announce the closing of NOW Australia. more here now.org.au To the survivors – we hear you, we believe you & we acknowledge the impact of your experience. Pld know that the fight for workplaces free of sexual harassment continues.


We are proud so many of the recommendations in our submission were picked up. This is a groundbreaking report. Now to ensure the recommendations are implemented - #power2prevent brings 2gether 100+ orgs working to do exactly that

Last week @Kate_Jenkins_ handed down the Respect@Work report on sexual harassment. It was informed by 60 consultations & drew on 460 submissions. Its 55 recommendations are vast & radical. But will the government implement them? @KZiwica isn't sure. womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-sex…

I would like to pay tribute to @AimeeCooper215 @kamnamm @VicLegalAid and the 100 orgs of #power2prevent coalition, who proved old fashioned collective action works. @AusHumanRights sexual harassment inquiry could be a game changer...but we have to make its recs a reality.

These are the words of our @VicLegalAid clients who bravely shared their stories to create change. This #IWD2020 we're calling for urgent action to create sexual harassment free workplaces in Australia. Too many of us have experienced sexual harassment #metoo #power2prevent

#EachForEqual This Sunday is #IWD2020. Let it be a reminder to men that the lived experience of women is different. Let it be a reminder that as much as Australia prides itself on egalitarianism, ours is an unequal society that privileges men at almost every turn.

The Harvey Weinstein case put the spotlight on non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases. NDAs were considered during the @AusHumanRights national inquiry into workplace sexual harassment, and we will be releasing our final report shortly. abc.net.au/news/2020-02-2…

In failing to convict Weinstein on the “predatory” nature of his conduct, the jury illustrated that they, like others, are still unwilling to look at the structures and enablers that help men like Weinstein become “predators”. Work to do. Me @smh @theage smh.com.au/national/weins…

"The system still mostly fails survivors. Women who are poor, of color, who come forward alone — especially these women — will continue to be disbelieved and blamed....But the Weinstein verdicts indicate that we are beginning to correct course." nytimes.com/2020/02/24/opi…

Harvey Weinstein’s conviction shows how cultural change is reshaping the criminal justice system.

Today is a victory for the #SilenceBreakers who refused to be silent about Weinstein, igniting a global reckoning. It’s a victory for survivors everywhere - and for all those who believe in justice. Read our full statement from @TinaTchen: times.upnow.us/2PhWJfN
