Here's how.","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1792,"description":"Despite decades of law reform, there are still countless laws that discriminate against women, non-binary, trans, and gender diverse people. So we decided to rewrite the law.\nWe got together with 45 of Australia's leading legal minds: academics, lawyers, judges and activists. \nWe set them to work for 7 years.\nThe result? 16 redrafted Australian laws, fully rewritten with the help of a parliamentary draftsperson, and ready to be introduced to any parliament that wants them. \nWe've created something that can make people's lives better, in Australia and around the world.\nAnd the best part? All these laws are rolled up into one easy-to-use guide - and it's completely free to download. (See below)\nIn this opening episode, you'll meet the team behind this project: Becky, Kate, Jamie and Heli.\nYou'll learn:The 16 areas of Australian law we have rewritten, across criminal, civil and constitutional law.How to use the book if you're an MP, policymaker, law reformer, academic or activist anywhere in the world.How a feminist legislation project differs from a feminist judgments project, and why that distinction matters.Our hope is that lawmakers, academics and activists in Australia and around the world stop critiquing the law and start writing it better.\nTake action today:\nThe book is free! The provisions are drafted. Take them to your parliament. Adapt them for another jurisdiction. Or start your own feminist legislation project.\nDownload the full book for free (open access):\nhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9781003372462/feminist-legislation-project-becky-batagol-heli-askola-jamie-walvisch-kate-seear\nGuests:Associate Professor Becky Batagol, Faculty of Law, Monash UniversityProfessor Kate Seear, Deakin Law School, Deakin UniversityAssociate Professor Heli Askola, Faculty of Law, Monash UniversityDr Jamie Walvisch, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Western Australia\nThe Feminist Legislation Project: Rewriting Laws for Gender-Based...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/XDQ_QeOhcaX5sScmsEm09SUKISJmUwFy-ad-8vyduYM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NmUx/MTEyNzI2MjBlYTI5/MGRkNjAwYjNiYzA2/YzkxOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
