Since we are currently in between seasons, we thought we would bring two special bonus episodes of What Happens Next? as part of Pride Week.

In our first episode of A Pride Open Road, we meet three student delegates chosen by Monash University to attend the WorldPride23 Human Rights Conference in Sydney.

Through their own personal journeys and experiences, we discover why attending the Human Rights Conference means so much to them, what they hope to learn, and how they hope to use this knowledge in the future.

Monash legal scholar and presenter at the conference, Professor Paula Gerber explains the human rights issues still facing the LGBTIQA+ community and what the world could look like if we don’t advocate for change in this space.

The students take us through the events leading up to the Human Rights Conference, starting with the largest ever Monash contingent at the Midsummer Pride March in St. Kilda. They also got the chance to meet and talk with Olympic athlete and WorldPride Rainbow Champion, Ian Thorpe, as well as attend the first ever Pride March held on Monash University’s Clayton campus.
