Advance Gender Equality + Respect

Women’s Health Loddon Mallee work within an intersectional feminist framework. We advocate for gender equality in our region by addressing the underlying inequities and systemic barriers that can negatively impact women’s health and wellbeing in our region.

Gender inequality impacts people in different ways. The impact of gender inequality on women can be further compounded by other forms of disadvantage and discrimination such as due to ethnicity, age, disability, gender identity, rurality, social class and sexual orientation.

Gender equality is achieved when all people, regardless of gender, can access and enjoy the same rewards, resources and opportunities as each other. Everyone stands to benefit from gender equality, including women, men and gender diverse people of all ages, abilities, sexual orientation and cultural identities. 

Raise Them Equal - Gender in the Early Years

The Raise Them Equal project aims to strengthen the capacity of the early years sector, families, and multicultural communities to support the development of gender-equitable attitudes and behaviours from a young age. 

Women’s Health Loddon Mallee has developed an animation series, educational resources, and learning opportunities to engage early learning services, families, and communities, and promote discussions around challenging traditional gender roles and stereotypes and encouraging  communities and individuals to take action to improve gender equality.  Learn more…
