International Women’s Day Special: Women of the World

Worldwide

Broadcast – 8 March 2016

We acknowledge and celebrate International Women’s Day. Each year, March 8 is a day marked around the world to celebrate the political and social achievements of women while reflecting and agitating for further improvements in rights.

• But what makes some countries more successful than others in the drive for equality for women?
• Are there some international success stories that we can learn from here in Australia?
• What is the next battle on the women’s rights horizon?

In the search for what is at the heart of women’s activism, we look to some of the leading ‘women of the world’;

• Tara Chetty, from the Fijian Women’s Rights Movement
• Robyn Tyler – a comedian and long-time US activist
• Chloe Zeegan – writer and anti-fem-phobia activist based in Germany
