Pursuing safety and wellbeing for all women and girls

This International Women’s Day, we bring into focus the UN Women Australia 2025 theme:

March Forward for ALL Women and Girls

The theme harkens back to thirty years prior, when the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality through the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

We have seen significant strides in the pursuit of equality for women across the world. We’ve seen women break barriers, reshape policies and ignite global movements.

Despite the progress made so far –as our academics will attest – voids still exist in the pursuit of equality.

At The Australian National University (ANU) College of Business and Economics (CBE), we are undertaking pioneering research around intimate-partner violence, tax legislation’s impact on women, the gender pay gap and women entrepreneurs in adverse contexts.
