The UN Women's annual 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence campaign soon comes to a close, with the Inner West rounding out this year's call to action with a special free event — Consent Laid Bare with Chanel Contos. Offering a fascinating discussion from two leading lights, it builds upon the global campaign's call to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. Centred around the activist and author's new book, Consent Laid Bare, Contos will take to the stage in conversation with renowned writer and broadcaster Lucinda Price, aka Froomes. Together, the pair will discuss how entrenched cultural norms continue to shape experiences of gender, sexuality and consent, while exploring what, if anything, has changed.

"Council is proud to host this important conversation during the 16 Days of Activism. Chanel Contos and Lucinda Froomes are powerful advocates whose work continues to shift attitudes and inspire change." Held at the Balmain Town Hall from 6.30–7.30pm on Wednesday, December 10, Contos will also delve into her work for Teach Us Consent — the headline-grabbing movement she created, which saw her receive the 2021 Australian Human Rights Commission Young People's Medal.
