Women’s Agenda - more than a ‘side hustle’

WARNING: This episode contains references of sexual assault and rape. If you want to avoid this content, skip from 5:45 to 10:03.

PSA: Female business owners are not “side hustlers” – just try running Women’s Agenda for a day! It’s not something we can do in our free time. But not everyone thinks the same. It’s time people start taking female-owned businesses more seriously, especially since address women’s economic inequality can bring $128 billion to the Australian economy!

This week, we also discuss the women’s strike in Iceland, the government’s new project to address toxic masculinity and the unfolding revelation of Bruce Lehrmann as the “high profile man” accused of rape in Toowoomba.

Stories included this week:

• The federal government launches three-year project to address toxic masculinity on social media
• Why did Icelandic women strike for gender equality when Iceland leads the world?
• Bruce Lehrmann is the ‘high profile’ man charged with rape in Queensland
• End the ‘normalisation’ of women’s economic inequality and unlock $128 billion
• What it really costs women to have a child in Australia
• Female entrepreneurs are missing out on critical funding and opportunities to scale. It’s because we’re often perceived as “side hustlers”.
