mini doco series

About

In 2021 we launched Women’s Work, a four-part documentary series highlighting the financial inequities Sydney women face. The series was created thanks to funding by a NSW Government My Community Project grant. The concept was driven by the findings of the Sydney Women’s Fund Portrait III Research: Hopes, Dreams and Fears of Sydney women.

Women’s Work tracks the life of a typical Australian girl, and the impacts from childhood ‘I wasn’t good at maths’, through to gender bias and discrimination at work, negotiating caring responsibilities, and whether she will have enough money to retire.

Women’s Work stars a host of incredible Australian women including Annabel Crabb, Dr Marian Baird AO, Dr Rae Cooper AO, Jess Hill, Turia Pitt, Tracey Spicer AM GAICD, Dr Kudzai Kanhutu, Larissa Behrendt AO and Jamila Rizvi.
