The SSTUWA is delighted to offer the annual Women’s Conference in 2022. This is an opportunity for women educators to hear from and connect with women from our union, workplaces and community who will share their insight into how women empowering each other can create change. Come together at this conference to identify and celebrate the achievements of amazing women, as well as developing your own skills and desire to choose to break the bias.
Rabia Siddique is an international humanitarian lawyer, retired British Army senior officer, former war crimes and terrorism prosecutor and hostage survivor.
She has undertaken humanitarian aid work in Asia, South America, Europe and the Middle East, for which she was decorated by Queen Elizabeth II.
Rabia Siddique’s best-selling memoir “Equal Justice: My Journey as a Woman, a Soldier and a Muslim” was published by Pan MacMillan in 2013 and work is currently underway to adapt this to a movie. She is currently writing her second book “A Beautiful Revolu-tion”, a book about the power we all have to be the change in our lives and in the world around us.
Rabia Siddique is now a multi award winning storyteller, inspirational speaker, leadership consultant, media commentator and human rights advocate. Peace, equity and the sustainability of our planet is what drives her.
But Rabia's biggest challenge and joy is being a mother to her young triplet sons!
On a mission to empower society, Becky Felstead brings her knowledge of the wellness industry, a background in photo-journalism, and most recently her lived experience of sexual harassment, workplace and culture to her work.
Starting on this trajectory, Becky has been liberating women through her sold out events throughout Perth. But empowerment is a two-pronged approach. It’s about addressing the pain and trauma, but it’s also about acknowledging the system and working to change it.
Combining her many talents, Becky embodies an educational role of men and women on sites, in the corporate world and within the wider resource industry. To reach, teach and liberate as many people as possible Becky Felstead's podcast, the ReSOURCE is a go to tool for anyone looking to open up conversations on uncomfortable topics, working through workplace harassment/ trauma, or women’s and men’s health obstacles.
Lois Olney was always told her Aboriginal mother had put her up for adoption. However, a note scrawled on a pie wrapper and passed on to her while singing on stage gave the first inkling she was stolen as a baby. Growing up in Perth, Lois discovered a gift for singing and started performing at a young age. Sit back and enjoy listening to this talented jazz singer, accompanied by guitarist Dave Johnson.
