Some things feel impossible to change without money and power. Meet four trailblazers who didn't let that stop them. Now way. Fighting corporations. Stopping violence. Transforming talk on sex and consent. Helping men heal from childhood trauma. They join host Natasha Mitchell and an audience of high school students to explore what pushed them to act.
This panel was part of a 2023 WOW (Women of the World) Australia event in Brisbane for school students.
