The Gender + Environment Data Alliance was established to compile & curate #data at the intersection of gender & environment. Why? Because the impacts of #ClimateChange & environmental disasters are gendered. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=0be2xoIm… #GenderData #GenderClimateJustice

Great to meet with @WHGNE to discuss actions to improve women's health & wellbeing. We talked about the care workforce, preventative health, gender equality, access to abortion services & a specialist family violence court in NE Vic

What elections never do is address the structural issues that entrench disadvantage - no money for 70% of our economy- the services sector - that is feminised. #GenVicPBB #genderequalrecovery

This #IWD2022, we're #SickOfSmallChange. The number 1 and 2 causes of death in women are increasing with little investment in preventative health. Being ALIVE is one of the most important precursors to being able to make social change! We need real investment.
What’s the real state of women's health in Victoria? It doesn’t look good. Rates of dementia and heart disease (the two top killers of women) are going up. We need real investment, not small change, to beat this crisis. buff.ly/3tibBOy #SickOfSmallChange @DanielAndrewsMP

It was great to find my voice in advocacy speaking at today's #SickOfSmallChange women's health event. It's time to increase investment in #WomensHealth, #prevention and #chronicillness 🙏
Delaying access to primary and preventative healthcare does not reduce strain on the healthcare system says Susan from @genwest_ echoing the words of @kateditchburn. We need prevention to be properly funded! @MartinFoleyMP @JamesMerlinoMP @DanielAndrewsMP

The pandemic has revealed #genderinequality in our health systems not created it. It has shown clearly that the investment in prevention is vital and needs to be in keeping with what global health standards knows is important for community and for women. #SickofSmallChange

Amanda Kelly @WHGNE - Women in #regional areas are disproportionately impacted by limited access to services & social isolation which has been elevated by #COVID We need to fund locally accessible, quality services for Victorian women, no matter where they live #SickofSmallChange
WHGNE - Women's Health Goulburn North East retweeted
@Kitmcmahon says the issues women face across our region are significant. In the inner-city region of #PortPhillip, more women than men are self-harming & are hospitalised because of this, double the rate across Victoria. Disgraceful #sickofsmallchange @TimPallasMP @GabbyWilliams

.@Kate_Jenkins_ on point today when she said that "the last year has made clear that these issues matter to an increasing number of Australians" - we won't stand for gender based violence, especially in our halls of power #EnoughIsEnough

Gender based violence and harassment of women in politics happens even before they decide to run. What does this mean for our representative democracy? On Day 5 of #16Days we're reflecting on what ending gendered violence means for equal representation. buff.ly/3FMrGki

What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women: #14. Hold other men to account. Speak to your friend who talks about his wife in that abusive way, that man who texts his girlfriend all day to check where she is, that guy who thinks rape jokes are ok
WHGNE - Women's Health Goulburn North East retweeted
What men can do on the #16DaysofActivism against men’s violence against women: #18. Work in solidarity with women, as allies. Don’t take over or dominate. Listen to and consult women, including victim-survivors. Amplify women’s voices and acknowledge their leadership.
