Women's Forum Australia has a strong evidence-based approach to issues that have special impact on women.

Work-Life Balance: Women's Forum Australia is producing an evidence-based research paper Reality Check: Work Life Balance on the issues affecting women's work-life balance.  The report is due for release in July 2009 and will cover the following key research questions:

• What are core goals that women want to acheive in work and in life?
• How and to what extent do these goals conflict?
• What are the personal, social and economic impacts of this conflict?
• What policies and community initiatives are in place in Australia to assist women in resolving the tensions?
• How could policies and initiatives be improved?

Faking It: Presented in a satirical magazine-style publication, Women's Forum Australia's groundbreaking and innovative research paper Faking It: the female image in young women's magazines reflects the body of academic research on magazines, mass media, premature sexualisation of girls, and the sexual objectification of women. 

Real Choices: Women's Forum Australia believes that no woman should ever have to choose between her own welfare and that of her unborn child.  Our focus is on social policy initiatives that offer women genuine choices and restore their freedom to be mothers. Our research paper, Women and Abortion: an evidence based review, brings together research on the reasons why women seek abortion, and the effects of abortion on their lives.
