Comments
It is twenty-five years since the Federal Government introduced the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). This press release produced by Robert McClelland, Attorney-General, and Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Status for Women on 1 August 2009 summarises the major initiatives undertaken by the Government in improving the rights of women over this time, particularly in relation to discrimination and violence.
For information about recent initiatives of the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, visit the Human Rights website.
If you have a reader's card for the State Library of NSW, you can find some interesting articles that examine the effectiveness of the current legislation for the rights of women on AGIS Plus. Type in "sex and discrimination" for articles on discrimination or "women and violence" for violence.
The Women page of the Legal Studies Research Guide will provide you with a list of additional resources to read.
