We are pleased to invite communications professionals to an online briefing to explore the latest Gender Compass insights into Australians’ attitudes to gender equality, with a particular focus on their implications and recommendations for communication professionals.

About the Gender Compass Briefing for Communications Professionals:

The Gender Compass “Phase 2 insights and tools” go deeper than the original segmentation work—identifying effective narratives, framing, and positioning strategies that most effectively resonate across different segments of the Australian population.

Dr Rebecca Huntley, Project Lead and Director of Research at 89 Degrees East, and Hannah Pronesti, Gender Compass Lead at Plan International Australia, will share:

• Key findings from the Gender Compass research, including how different audiences perceive progress on gender equality and what moves them to engagement and action.
• Practical tools to refine organisational communications on gender equality and inclusion initiatives

The event will be hosted by Champions of Change Coalition’s Director of Communications, Rita Zonius.

Value of attending:

• Better understand public sentiment towards gender equality
• Enhance your approach to engaging teams and stakeholders in the value/benefit of this work to all people
