“Aiming for the Elimination of Violence against Women’ with Professor Kate Fitz-Gibbon

Bec and Zoe reflect on their first 40 years. Now reaching a mid-point in their lives they chatter through the lessons and curveballs that have grown them to who they are now, but take stock on who they want to become going forward.. over a few Bali cocktails and belly laughs, as best friends celebrating all that comes with that chaos and charm that is life.

More often than not, we walk in and out of our community buildings with little thought as to why it was built, or even how it was built. Sometimes it’s a cement box simply designed for function and practicality, but then there are designs that started with a seed of greater intention, collaborating creativity with community and creating something that stands for so much more than the materials that it was made with. Kaunitz Yeung Architecture Firm is internationally renowned for nurturing positive social change in multicultural communities with their designs and builds. And when talking to the co-founder, Australian-Chinese Architect Ka Wai Yeung, it’s quite remarkable to come to the realisation that when someone who values heritage and history, ties their expertise with purpose and intention what is actually possible. The buildings become not just structures, but connectors of history, culture, respect and functionality. In Ka Wai’s career she has experienced building for wealth and financial gain, but it was the values instilled by her grandmother and a life changing trip to India where she decided to redirect her career and build so much more than just buildings but considered designs in areas and communities that need it the most.

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it’s had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go. Then there is always a ramble involved (usually by Bec) where they chat about what’s been happening and how they have or haven’t managed their current juggle, in their attempt to not be super, but a woman.

50% of women are considering scaling back their careers, in a bid to juggle motherhood. And 1 in 5 women of non-retirement age, are thinking about leaving the workforce all together. Why? This is the mountain in which Megan Dalla-Camina, Author and Founder of ‘Women Rising’, is climbing in an effort to get to the top and see the landscape of our societal structure and feel clarity on how do we really support women in their rising, in what we know to be a patriarchal society. Megan spent two decades as an award-winning marketing director and multibillion-dollar strategist for corporate heavyweights including IBM, GE, and PWC, spending most of her time often being the only female leader in a male dominated room. Then at the age of 30 Megan was blessed with becoming pregnant, but then confronted with the realities of the corporate world having little room and understanding for the realities of motherhood. Combining years of hard-earned corporate prowess, with the internal lioness of becoming a mother, Megan started to unpack the landscape that she had witnessed. What became clear was the empowerment of women we speak of, sits on shaky ground, as fundamentally, what is required is far deeper than the headlines around gender pay gap and women’s super, but a desperate need to truly understand both genders as men’s strengths are differing from women’s strengths but collectively create a far more well-rounded experience when combined. So how do we cultivate a world and workplace, where neither are shunned for their strength’s and inturn downside, but welcomed. And allow space for women to be uniquely themselves within their careers and workplaces, so that we as humans can benefit both within the workplace, but throughout our societal structure.
