Six thousand delegates. One city.     Last week, Melbourne hosted the biannual CHANGE cities network summit – and Ellie Cosgrave attended as part of the CHANGE delegation (City Hub and Network for Gender Equity)with findings from the latest phase of our international gender inclusion research.     In a session themed around partnership with Equimundo: Center for Masculinities and Social Justice, Ellie shared Publica CIC’s research into how public realm design can better support caregivers, with a specific focus on redistributing care work by engaging men.     She also hosted a street tagging workshop at the Care Pavilion during the Women Deliver Conference, exploring how well the surrounding built environment meets caregiver needs.     Witnessing a Global South-led conference drive forward the agenda of women’s rights locally was a powerful reminder of why this work matters.  Publica CIC are proud to have contributed their research to the conversation, and grateful to be part of a global community committed to making cities safer for women and girls.   ---   Photography: Dijana Risteska #PublicaCIC #CHANGE #CHANGECities #Melbourne #GenderInclusion #Caregiving #SaferPublicRealm #WomenDeliver
