STEPHANIE CARTER Yr 12 2007

I believe that the work the United Nations is currently doing through UNIFEM and the work that ZONTA International is also doing, is crucial in raising the profile of women and in fighting for gender equality worldwide. By focusing on generating strategies and programs to promote the empowerment and advancement of women, these organisations are helping to lead the global fight for women’s rights.

I believe such organizations are the key to combating gender inequality and the lack of education for females because they act as a uniting, motivating force that encourages women to use their collective ‘voice’ to demand change. It is exciting to think that if enough women are equipped with the knowledge, education and empowerment to demand change and to use their collective ‘voice’, the advancements we can make are limitless.

Law and language combine for Rhodes Scholar

Ms Kloeden

Studying abroad is often a special experience, but it proved a life-changing one for UQ student and 2008 Queensland Rhodes Scholar Anna Kloeden. It was while volunteering at a Chinese orphanage on exchange in 2005 that Ms Kloeden realised her passion for human rights law, with the Rhodes scholarship enabling her further study in the field at the University of Oxford next year. Ms Kloeden, from Westlake, will complete a Master of Laws at Oxford, focusing her research on how to strengthen the trade links between Australia and China without compromising the human rights of those involved. "China is shaping up to be a superpower in our region in the next five to 10 years and the Australian government understands the importance of focusing on that relationship," she said.
