HOBART — Feminist activist Anthea Stutter is running for the position of Tasmania University Union women's officer on a Resistance ticket. Elections are being held September 10-14.
Stutter helped organise International Women's Day and the Hobart leg of the World March for Women. She is also active in People for Choice and a volunteer member of the Hobart Women's Health Centre board of management.
"Many people my age think that women have won their liberation but there is a still a long way to go", Stutter told 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly. "It is especially important that young people get involved in campaigns around social justice issues, which extend beyond campus."
Stutter believes that abortion law reform is a particularly important issue since "the law 'reform' in Tasmania last year did not go far enough. The complete legalisation of abortion — with no restrictions — in the ACT shows what can be achieved".
