The Victorian branch of the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia (NCJWA) has made a push to ensure that Jewish women are equally represented in positions of leadership and at events within the community.
The #MakeSpaceForHer campaign was born as the result of preliminary research conducted by the NCJWA (Vic) Advocacy Subcommittee into 70 communal organisations which found only 14 per cent of boards showed balanced gender representation; and 15 per cent of boards were exclusively male.
