This International Women's Day, we're busting the taboos and starting the menstrual revolution!

Menstruation.
Menopause.
Contraception.
The tampon tax.
Hormonal hot flushes.

Topics that we discuss in hushed tones, lest we offend someone's sensibilities.

Not any more. Join us for one of the most popular events in the union calendar where we celebrate the achievements of our movement, and get inspired for the year ahead.

Guest speaker Karen Pickering is a feminist educator, presenter and writer based in Melbourne. She was the creator and host of Cherchez la Femme, a monthly talkshow of popular culture and current affairs from an unapologetically feminist angle.

Karen is the author of the taboo-busting book, About Bloody Time: The Menstrual Revolution We Have To Have, written alongside Jane Bennet. About Bloody Time examines the experience and representation of menstruation and menopause in contemporary Austraian society.

Arrive at 6.00pm for complimentary champagne, followed by dinner at 6:30pm (BYO drinks).

This event is happening on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. Sovereignty was never ceded.

HACSU is proud to announce the 2nd Annual HACSU Women's Forum. 
This is an opportunity for women of HACSU to network, gain skills in advocacy and leadership, and build a grassroots movement to empower and improve the position of women in our union. 

This day will not be about discussing individual issues, instead you will strengthen HACSU's Women's Committee (HWC) and learn organising skills to solve collective workplace issues that predominantly impact women. 

There are limited places available so if you are keen to attend, please RSVP as soon as possible.
