 date: 5:30pm, 27 March 2023
Location: RSSS Auditorium, Level 1 146 Ellery Crescent Acton, ACT 2601

‘Join the Gender Institute for the launch of the Handbook of Feminist Governance, edited by Marian Sawer AO, Lee Ann Banaszak, Jacqui True and Johanna Kantola. This is the first comprehensive survey of the extent to which feminist values and practices have been introduced into governance over the last 50 years.’
 

The book will be launched by Natasha Stott Despoja AO and Virginia Haussegger AM.’

‘Part V explores regional innovations in feminist governance and how regional institutions have become a key site for such innovation. Differing contexts, differing political opportunity structures and differing feminist perspectives affect the regional variation in forms taken by feminist governance. For example, Chapter 30 explores how regional integration practices culminating in the creation of the African Union have provided new entry points for feminist activism. It highlights both endogenous and exogenous factors involved, including African women’s organising, new indigenous legal instruments and global normative frameworks like
the Women, Peace and Security agenda.’
