One Toowoomba woman's response to the Australia-wide #march4justice - On Line Opinion


On March 4 this year I marched for women s right to be heard, to be part of the voice for change in the legislation that would restore justice in delivering equity before the law in the home, the marketplace and nationally.
No-one can deny that globally over the centuries all societies have regarded women and children as lesser than the male of the species.
So much so that laws have been formulated and by default are seen as patriarchal and misogynistic.

Jenkins said
 that sexual harassment is “widespread and pervasive”. 
“The data paints a comprehensive picture of the nature of sexual harassment in Australian workplaces. In the vast majority of cases, it is perpetrated by a man and in many cases; it is ongoing over an extended period,” she said.

The changes to the Fair Work Act and the Sex Discrimination Act include holding politicians and judges, previously exempt from the laws, accountable when sexual harassment claims are made in their workplace. Sexual harassment will now be a valid reason for dismissal and will also be included in the Fair Work Act’s definition of “serious misconduct”. ....
