Women

Jo Haylen, the Member for Summer Hill, gave a stinging speech in Parliament today condemning the Minister for Education’s failure to act on a 2014 request from St John’s College to reform its council following the near-death of a student in 2012.

I’m very pleased that the NSW Government has seen sense and recognises that a licensing system is not in the best interests of sex workers or the community.

Jo Haylen has called on the Government to address issues in Women's Refuges to ensure they are capable of protecting victims of domestic violence. 

Jo Haylen, the member for Summer Hill, has called on the Government to do more to protect victims of sexual assault and rape through consent workshops and improved reporting in tertiary education campuses. 

Jo Haylen, the member for Summer Hill, is opposed to the misogynistic views of "Pick Up Artists" and has called on the Government to introduce legislation aimed at stopping violence against women.

Feminism, politics, and why we should listen to the heroes around us. My speech for International Women's Day for my old school, Willoughby Girls High School.

The findings of this report were not supported unanimously and I have significant concerns about recommendations that water down the system of decriminalisation.

This October I join thousands of Australians in paying my respects to the women we have lost and saluting the courageous women who have been diagnosed. Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the thousands of Pink Ribbon breakfasts happening across the country show that the community stands with you and we will continue to fight to find a cure.
