With Special Guests:
Eleri Butler, Emily Maguire and Emma Fulu
Feminist leadership practice has been fundamental to the establishment and growth of the Victorian specialist family violence (FV) and prevention of violence against women (PVAW) sectors. Each have proud traditions of advocacy and have played key roles in raising awareness and improving understanding of the gendered nature of violence across the Victorian community. Sector leaders, and the staff who work with them, are driven by a collective feminist vision of a world built upon equality, justice, freedom from violence, and inclusion for all.
Family violence is an ongoing and escalating crisis in our state which requires innovative and creative solutions. The recent Royal Commission into family violence and subsequent reforms reflect the current government’s commitment to addressing the issue, but much work remains to be done and feminist leadership has a critical role to play. As a practice, feminist leadership strives to create new systems, structures and societies that are equitable, diverse, inclusive, accountable, free from violence and gender-aware, goals which are in alignment with the ultimately aims of primary prevention and family response work.
Family Safety Victoria (FSV) commissioned a research project with the purpose of better understanding the ways in which feminist principles of leadership, management, and governance are currently informing practice within the family violence and prevention of violence against women sectors. This Fireside Chat comes after the release of the Feminist Leadership Research Report and discusses the findings and themes therein.
WIDI would like to invite you to join us for this Fireside Chat on Feminist Leadership, with WIDI's Director Micaela Cronin being joined by our fabulous guest speakers Eleri Butler, Emily Maguire and Emma Fulu. As this will be an online event, there will be opportunities for attendees to send through questions and comments to the presenters during the event.
This event is open to members of the Leadership Intensive Network as well as colleagues and friends from across the community sector. Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who may be interested in attending.
