End Sex Discrimination
We're calling on the Federal Government to finally deliver on its promise to end discrimination in religious schools.
In Australia it is still legal for a woman employed by a religious school to be dismissed, demoted or denied employment because she wants to start a family using IVF, entered into a new relationship, or becomes divorced during her employment (even if that marriage was violent).
This is unacceptable.
No one should lose their job due to discrimination on the basis of their relationship status or pregnancy.
The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) handed down a blueprint for reform last year, finding that the religious ethos of a school could be maintained without such broad exemptions.
Equality shouldn't come with exceptions.
Call on the Federal Parliament to amend the Sex Discrimination Act
