Speaking Up: Gillian Triggs at Stanton Library

Constant Reader and MUP are delighted to present Gillian Triggs for the Writers @ Stanton program, one of the longest-running author event programs in Sydney.

As president of the Human Rights Commission, Gillian Triggs advocated for the disempowered, the disenfranchised, the marginalised. She withstood relentless political pressure and media scrutiny as she defended the defenceless for fi ve tumultuous years.Speaking Up shares the values that have guided Triggs’ convictions and the causes she has championed. She dares women to be a little vulgar and men to move beyond their comfort zones to achieve equity for all. And she will not rest until Australia has a Bill of Rights.

Triggs’ passionate memoir is an irresistible call to everyone who yearns for a fairer world.

The event is free and no bookings are required.
