This Respect at Uni week find out about what we’re doing to promote respect, inclusion and equality across our diverse staff and student community. Proudly hosted by Respect.Now.Always.
Uncensored talk: Wicked Women
How do we respond to women who transgress the boundaries of the law, social expectations and gender norms? How do we treat women who make us uncomfortable, profit from sex work, and demonstrate agency in ways that threaten social cohesion? Join us in this talk where morality meets sexism and oppression, with panellists from Eleos Justice, Women's Justice Network and UTS.

Uncensored talk: Law, Health, Gender
Why is the blood in tampon commercials blue? What is endometriosis, and why are we suddenly seeing it everywhere? What does it mean when people talk about 'trauma-informed' responses to domestic violence? Explore these and more with experts from WILMA Women's Health Centre, Norton Rose Fulbright and UTS Health in this talk that analyses the intersection between law, health and gender.
