Candidates to speak on gender equality

AHEAD of the upcoming 2022 federal election, Women in Gippsland and Gippsland Women’s Health have invited candidates for the federal electorates of Monash and Gippsland to publicly address their commitment and personal action to improving women’s well-being and achieving gender equality for the women of Gippsland.

Each candidate will be given two minutes each to introduce themselves, their vision for the women of Gippsland and their personal action as a future federal representative to address these three areas:

• Prevention of violence against women;
• Gender equality; and
• Women’s health and wellbeing.

The independent moderator will facilitate a Q&A with candidates from the public, which have been previously submitted to the forum organisers.

The public are invited to submit their questions for candidates relating to the three areas of concern by emailing enquiries@gwhealth.asn.au with ‘Questions - Meet the Candidates’ as the subject line by COB on April 29, 2022.

The online forum will be held on Monday, May 2, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm.
