Embolden Festival recordings
The 2024 Festival theme The [un]Silencing of Older Women recognises the need to understand the unique ways older women experience ageism - and combat the subsequent rises in poverty, homelessness, abuse, violence and murder. It explored the ways some families, communities, services and policies contribute to the silencing of older women; and how we can all be part of the solutions. It identified how a gender lens can enhance elder abuse strategies and a life span approach can help to prevent family violence.
Yumi Lee, Jess Hill and Associate Professor Laura Tarzia presented on a Life Stages approach to Family Violence.
