How we can build a future that will include all intersectional voices within the narrative for change?
Navigating our path within this world is difficult, but it is no secret that forcibly marginalised folks have had to face multiple barriers and challenges to actively find their ‘space’ within this society. Join Zahra Al Hilaly and a panel of young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds, to discuss our path in creating a safe culture for the future generation that will walk after us. This panel discussion will discuss the how we can build a future that will include all intersectional voices within the narrative for change.

Zahra Al Hilaly
Zahra is a first generation Australian, pushing for equitable representation within decision making for marginalised constituencies, including women of colour and migrant and refugee women.
Zahra works within policy and advocacy at a local, national and international level. She currently represents Australia on UN Women’s Generation Equality Task Force, is a part of the World YWCA Women’s Leadership Cohort and sits on multiple advisory boards and round tables including the YWCA Australia Young Women’s Council and the Ministerial Youth Advisory Council.
Zahra believes that story telling is a profound value that will change the world, and it is the stories of underrepresented constituencies that will shift the narrative in creating an intergenerational reform.
