    the differential experiences of women

    during quarantine mothers have
  • 00:02:12
    overwhelmingly taken responsibility for

    often working full-time
  • 00:02:17
    and taking on a higher proportion of

    jobs
  • 00:02:25
    shocking as it may be to hear throughout
  • 00:02:27
    the world forms of modern slavery and

    jewel
  • 00:02:30
    these forms of slavery include

    child marriage forced labor and sexual
  • 00:02:36
    exploitation
  • 00:02:37
    it is impossible to understate the
  • 00:02:39
    potential of education to transform
  • 00:02:41
    gender relations
  • 00:02:42
    and make a meaningful impact on each of
  • 00:02:44
    these forms of modern slavery
  • 00:02:46
    educating boys worldwide about gender
  • 00:02:48
    justice can pave the way for a future
  • 00:02:50
    where consent and equity are prioritized
  • 00:02:53
    and where violence and domination are
  • 00:02:55
    decoupled from ideas about masculinity
  • 00:02:58
    equally educating women and girls is a
  • 00:03:01
    hugely powerful way to address global
  • 00:03:03
    poverty it can help guard against
  • 00:03:05
    gendered exploitation and abuse by
  • 00:03:07
    giving women and families more
  • 00:03:09
    option in life including around career
  • 00:03:11
    opportunities
  • 00:03:12
    and family planning other challenges
  • 00:03:14
    abound racism exists
  • 00:03:16
    at every stage of education from their
  • 00:03:18
    earliest years
  • 00:03:20
    children of color face stereotyping
  • 00:03:22
    bullying
  • 00:03:23
    and stricter punishments for perceived
  • 00:03:25
    misbehavior this is especially true for
  • 00:03:27
    children
  • 00:03:28
    of black and indigenous backgrounds
  • 00:03:30
    students of color are singled out with
  • 00:03:32
    demands to provide perspectives
  • 00:03:34
    in emotionally fraught debates on topics
  • 00:03:36
    like black lives matter
  • 00:03:38
    education is also a challenging space
  • 00:03:40
    for teachers of color
  • 00:03:41
    who frequently receive bias feedback and
  • 00:03:44
    racist insults in students evaluations
  • 00:03:46
    of their teaching
  • 00:03:47
    all these experiences are a blight on
  • 00:03:49
    the educational experiences of many
  • 00:03:51
    access to quality education is all too
  • 00:03:54
    often determined by where you live
  • 00:03:56
    the under-representation of rural
  • 00:03:57
    australians in university education
  • 00:04:00
    is not due to differences in aptitude
  • 00:04:02
    people living in regional australia are
  • 00:04:04
    just as capable
  • 00:04:06
    and full of potential as students in
  • 00:04:08
    metropolitan areas
  • 00:04:10
    however the costs of relocating to a
  • 00:04:12
    city to study
  • 00:04:13
    are prohibitive for many students living
  • 00:04:15
    in cities
  • 00:04:16
    are generally more able to live with
  • 00:04:18
    family while they study while students
  • 00:04:20
    who relocate
  • 00:04:21
    need to have access to funds for rental
  • 00:04:23
    bonds rent payments
  • 00:04:25
    food and other living expenses equally
  • 00:04:28
    students from rural and regional areas
  • 00:04:30
    are also much more likely to be female
  • 00:04:32
    older and caring for dependents such as
  • 00:04:35
    children
  • 00:04:36
    the elderly and the sick the lack of
  • 00:04:38
    opportunities for tertiary education
  • 00:04:40
    in non-metropolitan areas as well as in
  • 00:04:43
    low and low middle-income countries
  • 00:04:45
    can have huge ramifications if nearly 75
  • 00:04:49
    percent of students who leave do not
  • 00:04:51
    return after their studies
  • 00:04:53
    the supply of professionals particularly
  • 00:04:55
    those with community connections
  • 00:04:57
    will be constrained with inevitable
  • 00:04:59
    consequences for local populations
  • 00:05:02
    this in turn has adverse effects on the
  • 00:05:04
    economic prospects
  • 00:05:05
    of rural and regional towns and low and
  • 00:05:08
    low middle
  • 00:05:09
    countries alike these are just some of
  • 00:05:11
    the reasons why i'm championing
  • 00:05:13
    sdg4 at unsw education transforms lives
  • 00:05:17
    for the better
  • 00:05:18
    it enables socioeconomic mobility
  • 00:05:21
    breaking cycles of violence poverty and
  • 00:05:24
    indignity
  • 00:05:25
    it is critical in reducing inequalities
  • 00:05:27
    and improving gender equity
  • 00:05:29
    and it helps mitigate and adapt to the
  • 00:05:32
    effects of climate change
  • 00:05:34
    i hope you will be champions with me
