- [Women’s representation can change attitudes](https://iwda.org.au/womens-representation-can-change-attitudes/) - Women have an equal right to be heard and make decisions. Equal representation in decision-making at all levels - in public life and within the household - is a basic human right, yet globally, women remain consistently underrepresented at local, regional and national levels. Based on the current rate of improvement in female representation, women will not be equally represented in parliaments until 2065.
- [Over 100 years later women are still not equal - but we are ready](https://iwda.org.au/over-100-years-later-women-are-still-not-equal-but-we-are-ready/) - March 8 marks over 100 years since the first International Women’s Day.

- [Who Cares? Why having a target on unpaid care in the Global Goals is a big step forward](https://iwda.org.au/who-cares-why-having-a-target-on-unpaid-care-in-the-global-goals-is-a-big-step-forward/) - Unpaid care and household work matters. It underpins societies and economies today and grows the citizens and workers of the future. The monetary value of unpaid care alone has been estimated at between 10 and 50 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In Australia, unpaid care was valued at $21.4 billion in 2009-10; equivalent to 50.6 per cent of GDP. Despite its significance, though, unpaid care and household work is not formally counted when assessing the value of our economy.

It is also largely matrilineal; land titles are passed down from generation to generation via women. This responsibility means the cultural identity of women in East Pomio is tied closely to their ancestral land.
