The lack of knowledge of financial literacy and concerns about understanding the economy such as “cashflow” and “payment types” for businesses have become barriers people face when operating a business Ms Thyer says. “Aussie women, we actually now have the second highest gender financial literacy gap in the G20 countries,” Ms Thyer told Sky News Australia. “We are always concerned about any barriers and any challenges women have that surround their participation in the economy … 1 in 2 new small businesses are being started by women or being led by women. “Most people men or women that go into small businesses … they go into business because they are passionate about something or they have an opportunity to do something with their day job they are really excited about. “We really need to understand, especially as women, what our exposure to financial risk is, if we ever, for example go on to partner or take time out to have children … there’s some really serious financial implications of a bunch of these decisions, that especially young women need to be empowered to navigate with confidence.”

Qld homelessness increasing with families of domestic violenceHomelessness is becoming an increasingly large issue in Queensland, as families suffering from domestic violence have no place to turn to, says CEO of not-for-profit organisation Women and Children First Dr Gabrielle Morrissey. “It’s as dire here as it is in Queensland – we focus at Women and Children First on mothers escaping domestic abuse and violence with their children and because our refuges are full and everyone we would refer to is full, that means when women call there is really no option for them,” Dr Morrissey told Sky News Australia. “We can’t move women forward through transitional housing and inter-rentals, so they’re staying in our refuges. “So when we get those calls and we’re turning away 10 to 15 women a week, we turned away eight in one day last week.” If this story has raised any concerns, please contact the domestic violence hotline at 1800 RESPECT.
