Counting Cultural Contribution

Australia’s creative economy is already carrying significant economic weight, but much of that value remains unmeasured and unprotected. Without recognising domestic and care load, creative labour—particularly women’s—continues to subsidise the economy invisibly, resulting in systemic loss rather than shared wealth.

Stress-Load Cardiomyopathy

Takotsubo—“stress-load” cardiomyopathy—proves that overload is physiological, not poetic. When 80–90 % of cases occur in women who carry most unpaid work, the cure isn’t self-help; it’s systemic balance. Honour, in scripture and science, was never meant to look like exhaustion.

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.
