You Should Never Have To Choose.

Two hours a day while your little one naps or is at kinder, doing the work you’re brilliant at, and paid well for it. Fractional work for mums, and for dads at home too, so nobody has to choose.

Why We Are Here

Women are ageing into poverty.

And every woman here is turning that around with her own two hands. A cake. A spare room. A Monday morning back at work.

The Rallying Call

Every Woman Knows.

  • Your keys between your fingers before you reach the car.
  • The back seat, checked. Every time.
  • Paid less for the same work, and told you are too emotional to be taken seriously.
  • Judged for how you look. Judged for how you don’t.
  • The emotional labour and the mental load — all of it, somehow, yours.
  • Some part of you on watch, every second of every day.

Women are absolutely exhausted.

Somewhere, somebody said you can tell the health of a country by the way it treats its women. By that measure, ours is pretty sick.

Mary Poppins said a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. We are not adding a spoonful.

We are throwing sugar and sequins, love, care and joy at the problem.

We are the solution. We are going to do what women do best: take charge. We lead by example, with love.

Why Eight Social Enterprises Stand Behind One Charity

It is no good just asking people to donate. We must change society at its core.

The social norms have to change completely. What is seen as okay. Boys being boys. Girls being people-pleasing. All of it.

  1. Right Now

    Immediate change. Eight social enterprises putting money in a woman’s own hands this month.

    The Eight

  2. The Longer Term

    Changing the social norms. The way we bring up our girls. The way we treat each other in relationships. The way the world of work works.

    Discover What Else We’re Doing

  3. Then

    When we demand more of ourselves and of each other, we demand more of the system. And only when people demand it will the system change.

  4. The Money

    The whole point of it is that women, individually, have access to money. Money provides financial power and choice.

  5. And The Urgent

    For the people who are not going to change: The Emerald Ladies, the housing, the legal support — everything a woman needs to leave, be safe, and start fresh completely.

Share The Sweetness

We’re Going To Do What Women Do Best: Take Charge And Lead By Example, With Love.

We are the solution. These eight put money in a woman’s hands this month, and they only work if she knows they are here. So tell one. Then tell all of them.

Eight Notes, Already Written.

Nan Made

For the one who bakes

Your lemon slice has been working for free for thirty years. Nan Made pays it. Women over 50, baking, money of their own — and every cake is one more woman who can leave if she has to. nanmade.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

Nan Made It

For the one who makes things

Everything you have ever made and given away for nothing has a price now, and it is yours to set. Nan Made It — your hands, your name on it, every dollar yours. nanmadeit.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

Aunt Tea

For the one who knows things

You have been the wisest person in every room for years and the room has never once paid you. Aunt Tea does. On the surface it looks like a tea party. Underneath, it is the rise of the matriarchy. aunttea.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

Matri Pair

For the one who would be what a family needs

There is a family out there who does not know yet that the thing they are missing is you. Matri Pair — every family needs a Mima, and she is paid, on her own terms. matripair.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

Esmeralda

For the one who needs a home, or has a room

A home a woman over 50 can afford, with an owner who chose her on purpose. It costs nothing to look, and there is no place like it. esmeralda.properties

— me, because I thought of you

LOIS

For the one who wants back into work

The job market has been ignoring the best hire in the country. LOIS fixes that — work that wants a woman over 50, and she never pays a cent; the businesses do. lois.careers

— me, because I thought of you

MotherLode HQ

For the one who is a mother at home

Your career did not end. It moved home. MotherLode HQ — the two hours after drop-off, paid at what you are actually worth. motherlodehq.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

SideBlooms

For the one who has a job and a gift

You already have the skill. You are just not being paid for it yet. SideBlooms — keep the job, grow the gift, and let the gift earn. sideblooms.com.au

— me, because I thought of you

Buy From Her. Hire Her. Rent To Her. Take It To Your Town

What Are You Going To Do?

Women Of OZ

We Want Her To Do More Than Survive.

A minimum of twenty per cent of every one of the eight is reinvested to support women. The ultimate: The Emerald Lady, through Women Of OZ — a place a woman leaving at midnight walks into with nothing to apply for — and long-term housing, and the lawyers she needs when she goes.
