WIFT Gender Equity Workshop is a facilitated conversation about intersectional gender equality and equity in the Australian screen industries. It looks at core reasons behind gender equity generally and how these play into the screen industry. It lays out WIFT's ideas for how these can be challenged in order to create profound industry wide changes. The workshop is designed to empower participants to think critically about industry culture and production. This is done by equipping participants with shared language, knowledge and space to create shared goals. This is run by an experienced WIFT facilitator.
