Gender equality is a core Australian value, and should also be a core value of the international rules-based order we all strive for. Both in our Indo-Pacific region and globally, we need to ensure gender equality not only because it makes for better lives, but also for a better world.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Promote gender parity and geographic diversity on speaking panels by requesting equitable gender and geographic representation in public speaking engagements.
