Gender equality campaigner and former Australian senator Natasha Stott Despoja says she's looking forward to working hard in her second term on a United Nations committee. The author and domestic and family violence advocate has been re-elected to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.
" Minister for Women Katy Gallagher also welcomed Stott Despoja's re-election, saying she will be an influential global leader for gender equality.
