Education (of women and girls) transforms lives and communities. It reduces rates of child marriage, promotes healthier and smaller families, improves wages and jobs for women, and empowers women to become leaders at community and government levels.

The Australian Government has launched Working for Women: A Strategy for Gender Equality. To find out more and to download a copy, visit genderequality.gov.au
ALT The Australian Government's vision for gender equality is an Australia where people are safe, treated with respect, have choices, and have access to resources and equal outcomes no matter their gender.
ALT It sets out a path to a more equal Australia, with a focus on gender-based violence, unpaid and paid care, economic equality and security, health and leadership, representation and decision-making.
ALT It’s informed by the lived experience, knowledge and expertise of thousands of individuals and groups and women’s advocates from across Australia.
ALT More gender equal systems, structures, policies and attitudes will work better for everyone. The Strategy outlines the need for intersectional and inclusive action. Visit www.genderequality.gov.au.

“I want you, girls with voices, to speak up & shout out for girls whose cries fall silent, I want you to pull up another girl, and help her stand tall and strong, I want you to be great & inspire greatness in others. If anyone can do it, you can.” - @QueenRania
