Julia Gillard, Role Model in Sexual Politics

By Ruth Skilbeck


No matter if her party politics policies may be accused of centrism when it comes to sexual politics Julia Gillard Australia’s first female prime minister, has unequivocally spoken up and spoken out for women worldwide, in a rousing speech she gave this week, hitting back at the persecution and sexist abuse she has experienced since she took on the role of PM in 2010.  In standing up against sexism and misogyny in the workplace – which for her is the Australian parliament, Gillard declared she was “representing the women of Australia” and her words were heard and applauded around the world by a global audience.
