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
