The Gillard government has announced the appointment of Penny Williams as the new Global Ambassador for Women and Girls. WEL welcomes the appointment and believes this is a great step forward towards Australia working collaboratively with other nations to reduce discrimination against women and girls around the world.
WEL is concerned, however, the the post is not a full time position, when the job would certainly warrant full time attention. This is hopefully something that can be looked at now that the position has been created.
