Grace Tame
為性侵犯倖存爭取發聲權利的提倡者。 Grace曾經遭受性侵害，卻被法律禁止公開談論自己的經歷，但她的侵犯者和媒體可以自由談論她的案件。 因此她發起了#LetHerSpeak的運動，以推動法律改革，讓所有倖存者的聲音都可以被聽到。 在她的行動發起後，該法律已被修改，賦予倖存者講述自己故事的權利。

作為一名來自Nauiyu民族的澳洲原住民社會運動者、藝術家和教育家，Miriam-Rose博士熱誠的倡導將視覺藝術作為每個孩子教育的一部分。她還建立了Miriam-Rose基金會，讓原住民青年學習如何通過藝術、機會、文化和教育，將他們的原住民文化與西方主流文化連接起來。

這位社會企業家開辦了一家名為TABOO的品牌，透過售賣以合乎道德標準採購的棉花製造的有機護墊和棉塞來結束「月經貧窮」，並將100％的收益捐給了One Girls，一間為獅子山共和國和烏干達的女孩和婦女提供教育慈善機構。 她的品牌TABOO還與澳洲當地的婦女庇護所合作，為弱勢的婦女提供免費的衛生用品。
Rosemary Kariuki
作為移民賦權的倡導者和當地警察局多元文化社區聯絡官，Rosemary幫助孤立的移民和難民婦女克服困難，並在陌生的國度找到屬於他們自己的方向。深深了解到新移民在一個新國家會感受到孤獨，她為來自不同文化背景的人建立了一個社區，讓這些人相互分享知識。她還開展了「非洲鄉村市場」的項目來幫助移民和難民在當地創業。

Grace Tame
An advocate for the rights of sexual assault survivors to have their voices heard. Having experienced a traumatic sexual assault herself, Grace was prohibited by law to speak publicly of her experience while her perpetrator and the media can talk about the abuse freely. So she began the campaign #LetHerSpeak to push for legal reform for all the survivors’ voices to be heard. Following her campaign, the law has been changed to give survivors the right to tell their stories.

As an Aboriginal activist, artist, and educator from Nauiyu, Dr Miriam-Rose leads a passionate campaign to advocate for the inclusion of visual art as part of every child’s education. She also established the Miriam Rose Foundation to allow Indigenous youth to learn how to bridge their Aboriginal culture and the mainstream Western culture through art, opportunity, culture, and education.
Isobel Marshall
A social entrepreneur who started a brand TABOO to end period poverty by selling ethically sourced organic pads and tampons, of which 100% of the proceeds goes to One Girls, a charity that provides education for girls and women in Sierra Leone and Uganda. Her brand TABOO also partnered with the local women’s shelter to provide free sanitary products for disadvantaged women.
Rosemary Kariuki
An advocate for migrant empowerment and the multicultural community liaison officer for the local police department, Rosemary helps isolated migrants and refugee women to overcome the hardships and find their way in the country. Understanding how migrants can suffer from isolation in a new country, she built a community for people of different cultures who share the same struggle to share knowledge with one another. She also started African Village Market, a program to help migrants and refugees start their own businesses.
