WOW will host two interactive, creative and artists led sessions. Under Tens (Girls Only) unpick those rules, and imagine a world without them - and tell us the changes they want to see in their future. Under Tens (Boys Only) explore how the rules might be different for girls, what that means for girls' lives and what boys can do to help build gender equality. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a0bfb5c71c10b72340e0559/5a0bfb8b8165f525baeb7486/1510734731773/ Program https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/t/5ab07a810e2e72e816f88238/1510734731773/ Program https://www.wowaustralia.com.au/new-gallery daily 0.75 2020-02-03 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a0c14b1c83025fe16c7ca63/5a0d37038165f5a87d730404/1510815495400/Griffith+University.png G - L https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a0c14b1c83025fe16c7ca63/5a168002652dea2e1adceda3/1521421430781/Jane+Caro-11.jpg G - L - Jane Caro Jane Caro is an author, novelist, broadcaster, columnist, advertising writer, documentary maker and social commentator.

His pioneering work with perpetrators of domestic violence at the Everyman Centre in London received national recognition in a 1992 television documentary, and over the years he has trained men internationally in working with domestic violence perpetrators. His book Pulling the Punches: Defeating Domestic Violence (2014) was the first self-help guide for perpetrators, grounded in theory as well as practice. He believes that violence towards women is rooted in patriarchy, and so interprets domestic violence as a political act that requires political solutions. His new book Defeating Domestic Violence in the Americas – Men’s Work (Hansib, 2018) challenges men to take more responsibility for ending the violence and puts forward solutions for governments to bring an end to socialization for violence. In addition the book charts the region’s history of violence before and after the arrival of Columbus, looking at the effects of native genocide and slavery, and how that history impacts on the violence in our societies today. Luke Daniels is also the President of Caribbean Labour Solidarity, founded in London in 1974 as an international campaigning organisation in support of democratic movements within the Caribbean. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a0c14b1c83025fe16c7ca63/5aa867c671c10b91672d907a/1521421436189/Kim+Hughes.jpg G - L - Kim Hughes Kim Hughes is a dynamic executive with over 25 years’ financial services experience in the superannuation, insurance, banking and funds management sectors.

Women make 85% of purchase decisions. In Australia it is estimated that women spent $818 billion in the 2016-17 financial year. Femeconomy uses consumer activism to progress gender equality by unlocking the power of the purse. If women buy from B2C and B2B brands that have women in leadership, women will impact bottom lines. This leads to more women in leadership to advance gender equality. It’s The Femeconomy Effect. Companies with female leaders are more profitable, which means more opportunity for everyone. They are also less likely to have a gender pay gap, which equals more money for the whole family. Female lead companies are more likely to have workplace flexibility, which helps women and men. Femeconomy approved companies have at least 30% female board directors or 50% female ownership. Approximately 2000 brands are listed on Femeconomy and over 800 receive Femeconomy’s approval. This approach directly supports top down strategies to improve gender equality on leadership teams. Any business who meets Femeconomy’s approval criteria can choose to submit their brand. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a8e53760d92971dab52df16/5a8e5acd085229db68c02a96/1519279362451/Esther-Achieng-Onyango.jpg A - F - Dr Esther Achieng Onyango Dr Esther Achieng Onyango has a background in biological and environmental sciences. She nurtures a keen interest in both laboratory experimental research; and large scale ecological and social research with a specialization in systems thinking, climate change risk assessments, climate change adaptation strategies, multi-sectoral collaboration and translational science. She is currently a Research Fellow with Climate Change Response Program at Griffith University, Brisbane. Dr Onyango recently completed an innovative and highly commended doctoral thesis; an integrated assessment of climate change and malaria risk in East Africa using systems thinking, mixed methods and stakeholder engagement. For her thesis, Dr Onyango developed an integrated assessment framework and used this with Bayesian Belief network modelling to synthesis transdisciplinary biophysical and socioeconomic data as well as qualitative stakeholder opinions to identify suitable climate change adaptation strategies and pathways. A key output of Dr Onyango’s work was the need to understand gender differentiated vulnerability, i.e. the barriers, constraints and reduced capacity to cope that women face with regard to climate change impacts, particularly in communities whereby women are primarily responsible for the health of the household yet have less decision-making power. Dr Onyango suggested that having an understanding of such gender dynamics would contribute to the development of climate change adaptation strategies, programmes and policies that promote gender equity. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5a8e53760d92971dab52df16/5a8e5a9d53450a4c0a8f35c7/1519278781674/Debbie+Kilroy.jpg A - F - Debbie Kilroy OAM After her release from prison in 1992, Debbie Kilroy OAM established Sisters Inside to fight for the human rights of incarcerated women and girls and to address gaps in services available to them and their children.

Like most country kids, Nevins played a variety of sports growing up, but excelled at basketball and netball. Coming through the netball ranks at the Echuca and District Netball Association and later the Echuca United Football/Netball Club, Nevins was “tall for her age” and played shooter. Having ruptured an anterior cruciate as a 21-year-old she persevered, and eventually prospered with an invite to joins the Vixens. The former attacker bagged her maiden championship with Melbourne Vixens in 2014 before heading north to play a key role in Queensland Firebirds 2015 and 2016 premiership wins.   Being quick on her feet has worked a treat for the fully qualified podiatrist who has settled into life in the Sunshine State with husband Sam.

RAE BAIKIE Changemaker Julie Baikie has made two donations - one herself and one in her mothers name: My Mum – Rae Baikie has always been (and still is) quite a Changemaker. In the early1980s she set up the first peripatetic service in the UK for children who were blind or had low vision in the region of Fife in Scotland. This innovative service ensured that the children were integrated into the mainstream school system with a range of support services for teachers, parents, psychologists and GPs. This job merged perfectly my Mum’s two previous careers that of an orthoptist and a primary school teacher and she loved it! Here she is in her beloved allotment in Edinburgh. When she got it 30 years ago her companions at the 'patch' were only old men escaping their wives they were convinced my Mum would never make it work! Always a keen gardener, she quickly dispelled their illusions! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dacf158499b5e7b46b15620/1579230038477/ellie.jpg #inhername - ELOISE MAREE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5db8cf98f152967e52585ee6/1579230038474/Jane+Frappart+Photo+-+Julie+Baikie+-+resized.jpg #inhername - JANE FRAPPART https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dbf6af3b039fb192a4fb20d/1579230038476/Moira+Hunt.jpg #inhername - MOIRA HUNT https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dccf83734c86d35c387350d/1579230038474/Freda+Maris.jpg #inhername - FREDA MARIS https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5e12c7fe1bf4500a656a9fa9/1578289267636/Karen+Koko+-+from+Lockhardt+River+Council+website.jpg #inhername - KAREN KOKO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/t/5e212356b75ad504c51ed477/1578289267636/ #inhername - KAREN KOKO https://www.wowaustralia.com.au/ihn-g2 daily 0.75 2020-02-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5d885163b41b640ba553b512/1569215509745/1930409_26264293781_8786_n.jpg #inhername - Celia White Celia is the Artistic Director of Vulcana. She has worked for over 30 years as a performer, maker and director of contemporary circus and performance, exploring the potential of meaning originating from the body and visual languages, from circus, dance, the visual arts and other inspirations. Her feminism informs all her work. She is passionate about getting people passionate about and involved in making performance that changes our view of some small corner of the world or each other or the act of performance. She needs to remember to drink more water when running from the office to the workshop floor and back. She wishes she had more time for dancing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5db8cfe731de6d7be2f5a071/1580705404220/Madge+McGuire+Photo+-+Julie+Baikie2.JPG #inhername - MADGE MCGUIRE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5db8d01b4b050219e8b68db9/1581400795983/Leigh.jpg #inhername - MY GRANDDAUGHTER, GEORGIE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5dc8b22147ba893963799a37/1581400795982/Aunty+Ruth.jpg #inhername - RUTH GHEE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5e21240bfbd67d6abce0bdc7/1580704646215/Lesley-Anne.jpg #inhername - LESLEY-ANNE HOUGHTON https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5e37a1d76ce96b4a795530a9/1580704568264/Allison+-+IHN.jpg #inhername - ALLISON BADEN-CLAY https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5e37a35899950062091dd67d/1580705435746/Allison+-+IHN.jpg #inhername - ALLISON BADEN-CLAY https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88514fb41b640ba553b2e8/5e4242880c16d02cb9d2f27e/1581400795982/Joan+Godfrey.jpg #inhername - JOAN GODFREY https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/t/5e4242df2aa7a072e9dadf64/1581400795982/ #inhername - JOAN GODFREY https://www.wowaustralia.com.au/ihn-g3 daily 0.75 2020-02-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88522f4f664045945d2d77/5e4241208185f139c7024c37/1581400384004/anne+davies.jpg #inhername - ANNE DAVIES https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88522f4f664045945d2d77/5e12baa91bf4500a656999e0/1581400359761/margaret+tiernan.jpg #inhername - MARGARET TIERNAN https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88522f4f664045945d2d77/5ddf78d935fa141ad05408ce/1575869754790/Catherine.jpg #inhername - CATHERINE HEINER https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88522f4f664045945d2d77/5dc254ee342a3076ed8c0276/1575869888747/Zillah.jpg #inhername - ZILLAH DOUGLAS https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d88522f4f664045945d2d77/5d885271d4e8684cb89b2ce4/1571032325454/Dur-%C3%A9+Dara.jpg #inhername - Dur-é Dara Dur-é Dara is Indian by race, Malaysian by birth, and – since the age of 15 – Australian by choice.

She has worked for over 30 years as a performer, maker and director of contemporary circus and performance, exploring the potential of meaning originating from the body and visual languages, from circus, dance, the visual arts and other inspirations. Her feminism informs all her work. She is passionate about getting people passionate about and involved in making performance that changes our view of some small corner of the world or each other or the act of performance. She needs to remember to drink more water when running from the office to the workshop floor and back. She wishes she had more time for dancing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5e12c7fe1bf4500a656a9fa9/1578289267636/Karen+Koko+-+from+Lockhardt+River+Council+website.jpg #inhername Campaign - KAREN KOKO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dccf83734c86d35c387350d/1579230038474/Freda+Maris.jpg #inhername Campaign - FREDA MARIS https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dbf6af3b039fb192a4fb20d/1579230038476/Moira+Hunt.jpg #inhername Campaign - MOIRA HUNT https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5db8cf98f152967e52585ee6/1579230038474/Jane+Frappart+Photo+-+Julie+Baikie+-+resized.jpg #inhername Campaign - JANE FRAPPART https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5dacf158499b5e7b46b15620/1579230038477/ellie.jpg #inhername Campaign - ELOISE MAREE https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5928f12c8419c2e1dd00ca4e/5d82b915f9bf44257345d14c/5d82b93150158d4686a9f08f/1568849490887/Di+Farmer.jpg #inhername Campaign - RAE BAIKIE Changemaker Julie Baikie has made two donations - one herself and one in her mothers name: My Mum – Rae Baikie has always been (and still is) quite a Changemaker. In the early1980s she set up the first peripatetic service in the UK for children who were blind or had low vision in the region of Fife in Scotland. This innovative service ensured that the children were integrated into the mainstream school system with a range of support services for teachers, parents, psychologists and GPs. This job merged perfectly my Mum’s two previous careers that of an orthoptist and a primary school teacher and she loved it! Here she is in her beloved allotment in Edinburgh.
