Australian Graduate Women Newsletter Spring 2025
Dear Members, It is my pleasure to invite you to read our newsletter for 2025. It has been an intensely busy year for me in my final year as President of AGW. I had the pleasure of leading our largest delegation to CSW 69 at the UN in New York in March 2025. Please see some reflections below. In April 2025, we announced our fabulous fellowship winners – see below. In May 2025, I was invited by Past President of GWI – Retired Judge Patrice Wellesley-Cole to chair the Nominations Committee for the next GWI Board and Committees, this was a wonderful experience and a privilege as it showcased some committed and talented members from around the world who would lead GWI for the next Triennium. In September 2025, four AGW members represented us at the GWI GA and also presented at the GWI conference. I continue my work on family and domestic violence, gender equality, present my research in various forums and was invited to join the board of the newly formed Australian Multicultural Women’s Alliance. Please read below some of our reflections and I look forward to interacting with you all in the next few months. Watch this space as we have a webinar at end of October 2025. With warm wishes Professor Jaya Dantas President – Australian Graduate Women Download to read the full newsletter.

Professor Jaya Dantas President. Dear Members A very warm welcome to all members to the AGW 2024 and I hope you all have had a successful 2024, as we head into the final month of the year. It gives me pleasure to present the AGW annual report at the AGM, on activities from July 2023 to June 2024. Globally, it has been a challenging year for higher education with the ongoing conflicts severely impacting women and girls and higher education. Universities have been destroyed, academics and students displayed and critical impacts on research facilities. The impacts on women are greater than ever with significant challenges due to inflation, rise in cost of living, changes in the nature of employment, and climate changes, all of which impact women. Thus, the importance of higher education for women and girls remains paramount and uncontested. We extend our thanks to those of you who have already committed your membership for the 2024-25 year, and to those who will renew in the near future. Your ongoing support and commitment to AGW is both appreciated and necessary. I thank the AGW executive and the council for their support. I share some highlights of the year, and I encourage you to take a look at our website. https://www.australiangradwomen.org.au To read more, Download: AGW Annual Report 2023-24
