The recent controversy about her showing skin in a photoshoot served as a timely reminder that too many people still misunderstand what feminism actually means.

MALALA YOUSAFZAI
Malala’s story speaks of courage, conviction, and a firm belief in what is right and wrong.

Malala’s story shows that women’s and children’s rights are a human rights issue, which matters to all of us.

ROSIE BATTY
Australians were incredulous when they heard the story of Luke Batty being murdered by his father during cricket practice – how could this happen!? The strength demonstrated by Luke’s mum, Rosie Batty in the days, months and years since have shown incredible resilience, determination and community support for families of domestic violence. Rosie (Australian of the Year 2015) is a vocal advocate for family rights and has established the Luke Batty Foundation. The Foundation stands with the women and children affected by family violence so that they are supported in the community and have a powerful voice in the corridors of power. ‘Never Alone’ will build a groundswell of support for victims that will make it impossible for family violence to be ignored any longer. They have a vision that change is driven through the eyes of the victims, with a force of supportive people behind it.
