What is systemic advocacy?
Systemic advocacy aims to create a more inclusive community through changes to legislation, policy, and practices. WWDACT uses systemic advocacy to protect and enforce the rights and interests of women* with disabilities in the ACT.
Our members provide us with knowledge based in lived experience which helps us to:
- Identify areas of concern for women* with disabilities in the ACT.
- Identify problems that exist within ACT systems.
- Understand how recent international and national research applies (or does not apply) to our local context
