Women with Disabilities ACT has come together with Women’s Health Matters and other ACT women’s services to show our joint election priorities.
In a city like Canberra, everyone should be safe from violence, have access to health services, and supportive and equitable jobs and communities.
While there have been steps in the right direction, slow action on domestic, family and sexual violence and women’s health and wellbeing and an under-resourced and overwhelmed women’s sector means that gender equity is still out of reach for ACT women.
Canberra women services need better. This election, ACT women’s services across the sector call for action from the future Government to:
📣Prioritise ending domestic, family and sexual violence
📣Recognise and resource specialist approaches to end sexual violence
📣Promote women’s health and wellbeing
📣Resource women’s policy
📣Value women’s work.
