Women at the Edge

What are the major issues affecting women in regional areas? How important are local systems and solutions in dealing with local problems? What are the new and innovative ways country women are tackling issues of gender inequity? What can policy-makers learn from local community initiatives and what are rural women learning from each other?

In five events across 2020, we’re hitting the road and heading north-east to the diverse Goulburn and Ovens Murray regions of Victoria to discuss these questions with local community leaders and experts. In partnership with Women’s Health Goulburn North East we’ll hold critical conversations, and share stories, on topics ranging from women’s health and housing to disaster relief, accessibility and financial empowerment.
