A bold reimagining of how the law can advance gender equality in the twenty-first century.
This Exhibition brings to life the aspirations and complexities involved in centring women’s lives in legislation. Through a dynamic display of artistic mediums, including canvas, ceramic, collage and film, artists from across Australia offer their interpretation of themes from the new book Rewriting the Rules: Gender-Responsive Lawmaking for the Twenty-First Century.
Navigate across women’s worlds of work and home, from spaces and places of violence to freedom, to all corners of the globe and the virtual world.
Be challenged to think beyond a linear pathway: sometimes equality for women means de-gendering our norms and expectations.
Equality before the law
The perception is that justice is blind and the law applies equally to everyone, but according to University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Professor Ramona Vijeyarasa, a lot of discrimination that women face is embedded in the law.
