Fair Sport for Australian Women
Did you know that, according to our research, every sporting body in Australia allows natal males to compete against natal females as if they were actually female? Yes! AFL, Rugby Australia, Football Australia, AWF and so many more all allow men to compete as/against women. This is happening on the community and elite levels.
Members of Women's Rights Network Australia conducted research into sporting rules, constructed a purpose-built campaign website, handed out leaflets outside FIFA Women's World Cup games, and commissioned 2 electronic billboards to raise awareness of the issues.

Asking Julia Gillard: What is a Woman?
Our South Australian members organised to attend a forum where our first female Prime Minister, The Honorable Julia Gillard, would be speaking about the advancement of women. They prepared carefully, and managed to ask Ms Gillard two devastating questions.
"What is a woman?" and does Ms Gillard regret her 2013 amendment to the Sex Discrimination Act that removed biological definitions of sex?
Ms Gillard's responses were picked up by several news agencies such as The Australian, Spiked Online, Daily Mail Australia, News.com.au, Rita Panahi on Sky
"Julia Gillard" was trending on twitter for several days. Women's Rights Network Australia was even mentioned in the Senate!
