Ordinary Australians will be the ones to drive greater equality and are already demonstrating an overwhelming amount of support for giving First Nations peoples a seat at the table, according to a panel of four eminent Indigenous women speaking at our International Women’s Day Breakfast Panel. 

Emphasising the need for a grassroots movement to bring about change, Pro Vice Chancellor Indigenous UNSW and proud Cobble Cobble woman Professor Megan Davis, was joined by criminal defence lawyer and proud Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman Teela Reid, and award-winning writer, artist, NSW Aboriginal Woman of the Year for 2020 and proud Gunai woman, Kirli Saunders at the event hosted in partnership with Witchery.
