Clementine Ford is an Australian feminist writer, columnist, broadcaster and public speaker on women's rights and other social and political issues.
Ford spent much of her childhood growing up in the Middle East, specifically in Oman on the eastern border of the United Arab Emirates.
[17] Later that year, she wrote an opinion piece against a Victorian bill that would change the state's abortion laws, arguing that if politicians really cared about the lives of women and girls that they would advocate for improved access to birth control, including terminations.
[18] In January 2019, Ford resigned from her role as a columnist with The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, alleging that in September 2018 she had been disciplined over a tweet calling then prime minister Scott Morrison "a fucking disgrace" for his negative comments concerning teacher training on identifying and supporting potentially transgender students, and that she had been told it was the paper's new policy to refrain from "disrespect[ing] the office of the PM".
[21] In February 2020, Ford began a podcast called Big Sister Hotline in which she talks about current feminist issues and questions with guests such as Florence Given and Yasmin Abdel-Magied.
