This year’s Women in Print events will take place around Australia in August, with activist and advocate Amna Karra-Hassan presenting at the five-event series.
Women in Print (WiP) is celebrating its eleventh year providing a forum for women working in the print media industry to expand their networks and, at the same time, learn from some of Australia’s leading businesswomen.
This year’s speaker Amna Karra-Hassan is an activist and advocate for diversity, inclusion and gender parity She works for the Australian Federal Police in the Reform, Culture and Standards portfolio, which is responsible for engaging the workforce in cultural change.
She is also the Founder and President of the Auburn Giants Australian Football Club and has pioneered programmes for women of minority communities in Western Sydney. She uses her influence to change the conversation on gender, culture, faith and representation.
The organisers say Amna will share her inspirational story through adversity, hope and achieving the impossible. She shares her experiences on collaborating with community leaders, small business owners, local government, traditional and social media and thought leaders.
