What are the stories we need now to advance gender equality and justice?

Join us for the launch of Documentary Australia’s new, flagship Women’s Voices initiative, which elevates stories from women, girls and gender-diverse people that shift the narrative and advocate for change.

Launching in May 2026, the program celebrates the trailblazing documentaries that have come before, and invests in the next generation of films driving progress for equality and justice.

At this special invite-only event, we will screen seminal documentary Brazen Hussies, which charts the revolutionary Australian Women’s Liberation Movement of 1965-75, and include a discussion on the evolution of the gender equality movement and present-day storytelling priorities, featuring author Dr Anne Summers AO, social researcher Dr Rebecca Huntley, and journalist Phoebe McIlwraith in conversation with Documentary Australia CEO Dr Mitzi Goldman.

Thank you to the Chong Family, Horizon Foundation, Snow Foundation and Emily’s Wish Foundation for supporting the development of the Women’s Voices initiative, and to Shark Island Institute for hosting our launch event.
