This Monday 8 March, International Women’s Day, you are invited to a special Speed Briefing event hosted by Financy and Grattan Institute.

We know you are busy, so grab a coffee and get a quick download on the issues crucial to women’s economic progress: How did women fare in 2020? What has COVID done to gender equality? And how can women, business, and government build back better in 2021 and beyond.

This webinar event will feature Financy Women’s Index Founder Bianca Hartge-Hazelman and Grattan Institute CEO Danielle Wood as they discuss the most important take-outs from their new reports: the Financy Women’s Index December quarter and Grattan’s latest policy report, Women’s Work: The Impact of the COVID crisis on Australian women.
