Following the AGM there will be a short break, and then at 2.55pm a panel discussion Violence against women: national plan, local challenges. Jozefa Sobski, AM, will chair the panel. Jozefa is National Convenor of WEL Australia and a longstanding advocate on eliminating violence against women. We hope you will join us for the discussion. 

We have been very fortunate that Kittu Randhawa and Hayley Foster have agreed to speak.

Kittu is the Founder and Project Lead of the Indian (Sub-Cont) Crisis and Support Agency, the first NGO for the Indian Subcontinent Community in Australia. Kittu is the subject matter expert in complex and cultural forms of family abuse and violence, specialising in dowry abuse.

Hayley is the Chief Executive Officer of Rape and Domestic Violence Services Australia. Hayley has over 19 years’ experience in the community and justice sectors, principally in the areas of domestic and family violence policy, practice and law reform. Hayley is passionate about evidence to action and social justice reform.

Following 10-15 minute talks by Kittu and Hayley, we will have questions and discussion. Both Kittu and Hayley are very knowledgeable and engaging speakers and the discussion is certain to be inspiring and informative.

This panel discussion is available to all members of the community so please feel free to invite any others you may feel be interested in what is bound to be an engaging discussion. A seperate RSVP link will be available to those interested in joining this discussion though will not be participating in the AGM.
