In March 2018, in support of the "NOW Australia" Time's Up and #MeToo campaign, Arena authored an op-ed article titled "The music industry must join us with #thetimeisNOW", published by News Corp Australia on news.com.au. Arena states her views on how the Australian music industry has enabled "a stagnant perspective towards females". Arena stated future social goals in the op-ed, that "We need to raise the bar of our emotional intelligence because this is not a whinge, it's not a social media trend, and "NOW Australia" is going to keep the issue of sexual harassment at the forefront and do everything we possibly can to change the mentality that allows it to happen. We’ve got a lot of work to do here".
