As she has a pattern of doing, the director continues to use her platform to speak up for issues she is passionate about, such as the decision for the Supreme Court in America to overrule the Roe vs. Wade ruling of 1973.
Her passion for feminist issues can further be seen in her roles and her platforming of women’s stories as a director.

In an interview with Kerry O’Brien on behalf of Griffith University partnered with HOTA, Griffiths spoke about the treatment of women in the film industry:
“I kind of had a deep feeling that there was an aspect of women’s liberation that had not served us, that had just allowed us to be a more easily tradable slash discardable commodity.”
In terms of her new project with ABC and Mint Pictures, Griffiths said: “I’ll be taking ABC’s viewers on a fun, factual, at times surprising and very visual adventure from our beaches to our rivers, across our plains and lakes, up our mountains and down our valleys looking for the very spot where some of our most iconic paintings were made.”
Currently, Rachel Griffiths and her artist husband are located in Sydney in a $2 million designer terrace where they live with their three children, Banjo, Adelaide, and Clementine.
