Join the Gender Equity Coalition - Individual Members
A gender equitable community is where all people are respected, safe to participate in all aspects of community life and have equitable access to resources they need to succeed in achieving their aspirations, while living in a community that is free from violence against women and gender-based violence.
The GEC is made up of individuals, organisations, businesses, schools, community and groups who are committed to leading actions that promote gender equity across Greater Bendigo.
We demonstrate our commitment by:
Advocating for and leading change within our spheres of influence
Building knowledge and understanding across our community
Modelling the principles and approaches within our own areas of influence
Developing and implementing policies and programs
Encouraging others to join us in our efforts
Monitoring and evaluating our outcomes, and reporting progress
Celebrating our achievements
