Collective Shout announces Kerryn Baird as new ambassador to support advocacy for women and girls

Collective Shout, the grassroots campaign movement against the objectification of women and sexualisation of girls, announces Kerryn Baird as its new Ambassador.

The announcement was made at a fundraising event for the movement held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney last night for International Day of the Girl Child.  Addressing the event was Ms Baird’s first function as Ambassador.

Attending the event with her was her husband and NSW Premier Mike Baird.

In her speech, Ms Baird said she decided to accept the invitation to become an Ambassador because she believed children were at risk of losing their childhood.

“I want more for our girls. And boys,” she said.

“Like many of you in the room, I have daughters. I have hopes for them. I want them to fulfil their potential. To be able to contribute.

“I want a world where words to describe girls not as sexy, and hot, but as worthy, strong, healthy, active, imaginative”.

Co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist, who also spoke at the function, said she was delighted to welcome Ms Baird as Ambassador. 

“Kerryn heard me speak at a private girls’ school in Sydney recently. She asked what she could do to help the cause. I asked if she would consider becoming an Ambassador. She said yes!” Ms Tankard Reist said. 

“We look forward to achieving more in future with her support.”
