A Fairer World marked its 40th anniversary with a morning tea hosted by our parton Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC at Government House, bringing together the people who have shaped our organisation over the decades.

These photos capture the heart of our organisation – past and present contributors, human ‘books’, staff, AFW members, committee members, mentors and volunteers — individuals whose commitment has sustained our mission for social justice. We are A Fairer World because of these people, and the many others who have championed diversity and inclusion with us over four decades.

Our purpose continues to echo Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: All human beings are born free and equal. For 40 years, this principle has guided our programs, our advocacy and our community partnerships.

As we look to the future, we are pleased to welcome Vani Welling as our new CEO, working alongside President Samantha Stayner to lead A Fairer World into its next era. Congratulations all.

At A Fairer World, we’re dedicated to building diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Through our various programs, such as the Hobart human library and community outreach initiatives, we strive to dismantle barriers and cultivate empathy and understanding among individuals from all walks of life. The stories of resilience and triumph shared within our Hobart human library, each story serves as a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit.

To read more inspiring stories host a Hobart human library forum.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We believe in taking action to create tangible change in our communities. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our Hobart human library forum initiative, where schools and workplaces can host their own human library events. By bringing together individuals with diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, these forums provide a platform for dialogue and understanding, fostering a culture of empathy and inclusion.
