This episode features Celeste Liddle’s International Women’s Day Address, recorded at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre. Some of the points her talk covers include:

• Celeste’s upbringing and how it has informed her politics today.
• Intersectionality.
• Women’s liberation is just a start, same with all other causes.
• We should liberate the most vulnerable rather than trickle down social justice.
• Choice is linked to privilege.

For more information on this talk and for a recording that includes the whole talk and the Q and A after the talk (covering topics such as education in schools on Indigenous issues, disabilities in Indigenous communities and self-care for Women of Colour), see here.
