QUT Centre for Justice member, Professor Michael Flood, has appeared in the media this past week on a number of different topics.<\/p>\n
Professor Flood provides commentary on an article authored by Jan Caro titled, “We are among the best-educated in the world.\u00a0 Why are workplaces failing us? “<\/strong> (The Age, 05\/03\/23) and “A win for all”<\/strong> (Sunday Age, 05\/03\/23; The Sun Herald, 05\/03\/23) on how an equal society is a gain for everyone – both men and women.\u00a0 Caro discusses, as we approach International Women’s Day, that Australian women are still not as free to succeed or fail on their own merits in the same way as their male peers.<\/p>\n “According to the “Breaking the Norm” report from Deloitte Access Economics, our progress on gender equity has stalled. Women are still earning only 86 cents for every dollar earned by a man, still do more of the domestic load and hold down just 6 per cent of the CEO positions on ASX 200 companies.”<\/em><\/p>\n Professor Flood comments on a Victorian Health Promotion Foundation survey that reveals “while younger males (aged 16-17) may have more progressive ideas about traditional gender roles and their negative effect on men’s health, they have more rigid beliefs when it comes to violence and the right of men to dominate and control relationships.”<\/p>\n Read the full article here<\/a><\/p>\n“Given that an average of one woman is killed by an intimate partner in Australia each week, this is terrifying.”<\/h4>\n
