Vicki Couzens presents a special edition of Studio 1 – Vision Australia’s weekly look at life in Australia from a low vision and blind point of view – celebrating International Women’s Day 2020.

Vicki has gathered together a diverse and dynamic group of inspirational blind and low vision women to discuss being visually impaired from a woman’s perspective, and being a woman from a vision-impaired perspective.

Vicki is joined by guests Emma Bennison, CEO of Blind Citizens Australia, and Caren Burns who has just started her career as a Trainee Librarian in the Vision Australia Library.

On co-presenting duty in the studio are Miriam McCulley and Kaya Sellek
