SUMMARY:Conference on Women's Safety and Financial Security
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence women of all backgrounds experience. Despite the varied policy initiatives introduced in recent years\, domestic violence rates in Australia and around the world remain stubbornly high. Thus\, there is much to learn and do in order to achieve The National Plan’s goal that “Australian women and their children live free from violence in safe communities”. \nThe overarching goal of this conference is to consider solutions to the social problem of gendered violence with some emphasis on the role that women’s economic and financial security can play. It will feature academic speakers from many different fields of expertise as well as a policy/industry panel discussion covering topics ranging from labour market outcomes\, gender inequality\, and financial abuse to the legal and political determinants of Intimate Partner Violence.  See here for program.

SUMMARY:Policing Insecurity: Debt\, Fraud\, Data and the Automated Welfare State - a public lecture by Professor Virginia Eubanks
DESCRIPTION:About this event \nMany of the digital risk prediction systems integrated into Unemployment\, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)\, Supplemented Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)\, and other social insurance programs in the United States over the last two decades promised to reduce waste and abuse by stopping fraud before it starts. In reality\, these systems are increasingly used to tunnel through decades-old program data\, looking for alleged overpayments that are then converted into debt for collection by the federal Treasury Offset Program (TOP). \nThis talk compares the RoboDebt case in Australia to current practice in the United States\, drawing on collaborative work with the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) to shed light on the political implications of punitive debt production in six states. \nThe public lecture will be followed by light refreshments. \nAbout the Speaker \nProfessor Virginia Eubanks is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University at Albany\, SUNY. She is the author of Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile\, Police\, and Punish the Poor; Digital Dead End: Fighting for Social Justice in the Information Age; and co-editor\, with Alethia Jones\, of Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around: Forty Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith. Her investigative reporting and personal essays have appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, Scientific American\, The Nation\, Harper’s\, and Wired. With Andrea Quijada\, she is gathering oral histories of the global automated welfare state for Voice of Witness. She is a 2022 scholar-in-residence at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

SUMMARY:Release of NCOSS report Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, Report Four - Child Wellbeing and Development
DESCRIPTION:As NSW recovered from the 2019-20 Summer Bushfires and the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Australia in February 2020\, there was no indication of the upheaval and sacrifices that lay ahead. \nThis report series\, Aftershock: Addressing the Economic and Social Costs of the Pandemic and Natural Disasters\, explores the impacts of the pandemic and natural disasters across four key domains of wellbeing – mental health\, domestic violence\, housing security and child welfare and development – drawing together research and latest data to highlight the devastating impacts of the past two and half years. The aim is to document the huge personal and economic impacts which\, if left unaddressed\, will leave a long-term mark on the economy of NSW and its people. \nNCOSS will release its fourth in the series to mark Anti-Poverty Week.  Previous reports focused on mental health\, domestic and family violence and housing and can be found here.
