If It Ain’t Broke… Then Why Are Women Still Hauling It?
Across every economy, women do 76% of the world’s unpaid labour yet control less than 20% of wealth and leadership. The system isn’t “broken”—it’s built this way. “If It Ain’t Broke… Then Why Are Women Still Hauling It?” exposes the 80/20 illusion and asks why, in 2025, women are still carrying the weight of progress that refuses to arrive.
The System Won’t Change Itself
The Creative Women’s Association never set out to talk about God or politics. But to fix a broken system, we have to name the architecture. From the 80/20 global wealth gap to the Vatican’s 5% female leadership, it’s clear: silence is the oldest form of control. Equality begins when women start talking about what they were told not to.
Creative Excellence Program
The Creative Women’s Association has launched the world-first Creative Excellence Program, a 10-month leadership initiative certifying women as creative authorities and reshaping the global creative economy.
CWA Australia
CWA Australia is redefining the creative economy by certifying women’s artistic, cultural, and health-based work as legitimate economic infrastructure.
The Creative Women’s Authority™ is closing the gap between creative labour and formal accreditation. In a system that excludes practice-based, cultural, and production work, CWA offers a new professional standard — designed to recognise real contribution across emerging industries.
How She Did It
Before the crown, Queen Elizabeth II was a mechanic. Discover how her wartime grit—learning to fix trucks, drive, and serve—offers a powerful blueprint for quiet, creative capital today.
