The latest national report has identified a continued significant under-representation of women artists in Australia's taxpayer-funded galleries, despite women and non-binary individuals representing the majority of visual arts graduates. According to the 2022 Countess Report, women artists feature in only 33.6% of the programs at state galleries. This disparity exists even though almost two-thirds of visual arts graduates are female or non-binary, with male graduates making up just 21%. The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) has called for immediate action from galleries and governmental bodies to achieve gender parity. https://lnkd.in/gvz8MCC4

TAKE ACTION: How to Respond to Anti-Trans Rhetoric is a 2-hour workshop to arm you with talking points to engage in conversations as an ally for transgender people & trans youth. Over 500+ anti-trans bills have been seen across the country, primarily targeting transgender youth in everything from school curriculum, sports, and access to healthcare. In this election year, politicians are running on anti-trans, anti-queer platforms to score cheap political points. However: transgender identity is not political - it has been politicized and it will likely only get worse. Each of us has the power to create change. You don’t need to be a social media influencer or celebrity; each of us influences those around us. By learning how to respond in ways that support transgender and nonbinary people, we create change with those around us, which ripples out to their other circles & beyond. I invite you to learn strategies to create change & fight for trans rights this June: https://lnkd.in/gD2AZ29U

This segment is the part of an activity which I conduct in order to teach my students 'How to Answer Random Questions". Listen to the words of this young mind (Hayatt Riyaz Khan) which has a sense of equality and inclusivity for everyone. She used the formula of What, Why and How in a very effective way to address the cause... The Question was...

A new report by music industry gender equality foundation Donne, Women in Music has found significant disparities in the representation of women and the global majority in orchestral compositions, reflecting a ‘regression in diversity’. The Equality and Diversity in Global Repertoire report is based on an analysis of 111 orchestral repertoires across 30 countries for the 2023-24 season and builds on the organisation’s annual research into the trends of programming diversity and equality within global concert repertoire which began in 2018. A study of 16,327 compositions scheduled for performance revealed that: 🎶 89.3% of orchestral repertoire was composed by white men 🎶 only 7.5% of works were composed by women, with just 1.6% by women from the global majority. #womeninmusic #genderequality #classicalmusic #supportwomeninmusic

📚"There is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." The conversation about the relationship between women and men and their roles in the Christian life and the church has evolved, but the topic continues to inspire debate and disagreement. The third edition of this groundbreaking work brings together scholars firmly committed to the authority of Scripture to explore historical, biblical, theological, cultural, and practical aspects of this discussion. This fresh, positive defense of gender equality is at once scholarly and practical, irenic yet spirited, up-to-date, and cognizant of opposing positions. In this edition, readers will find both revised essays and new essays on biblical equality in relation to several issues, including the image of God, the analogy of slavery, same-sex marriage, abortion, domestic abuse, race, and human flourishing. Discover for yourself God's vision for gender equality. Find the book in CBE's bookstore today! https://lnkd.in/gHX73tqF #BiblicalEquality #Mutuality #Bookstore

Vanessa Joy and Arienne Childrey, both trans women running for a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives, were disqualified from the race due to a rarely enforced state law requiring them to put their “deadname” on their candidate petition. This blatant denial of Vanessa and Arienne’s identities is not only deeply harmful but also a disheartening setback for trans representation in politics. Transgender representation in politics carries immense importance for several reasons. It allows for a genuine diversity of experiences and perspectives within our elected bodies. Trans voices in policy-making also provide opportunities for laws and regulations that are more inclusive and protective of transgender people’s rights and well-being. We must strive for an electoral system that respects and acknowledges the chosen identities of all candidates, especially as attitudes and legal precedents shift regarding transgender rights. 🏛️🌍 At Lambda Legal, we stand in solidarity with Vanessa Joy, Arienne Childrey and all trans leaders fighting for representation and justice. 🌐 To learn more about Vanessa's story, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/eXF-28cH

This article is such an incredible, honest and open insight to the gender journey of an amazing health care provider. Take a second to read!

The progress of trans and non-binary rights in the UK has been a story of resilience and gradual progress. From the early struggles highlighted by the 1970 Corbett v Corbett case, which restricted legal gender changes, to the landmark Goodwin v United Kingdom case in 2002 that spurred significant legal reforms, the fight for recognition has been challenging. The Gender Recognition Act of 2004 was a pivotal moment, granting trans individuals the right to legally change their gender. In recent years, milestones such as the first Trans Pride in Brighton in 2013 and the inclusion of gender identity in the 2021 census have marked significant strides towards inclusivity. However, challenges persist, particularly for non-binary individuals who continue to seek full legal recognition and equality. This journey underscores the importance of continued advocacy and awareness to build a more inclusive society for all gender identities.
