Advocacy

In order to spread our vision that “at all women have safe and inclusive communities in which they are resourced to live their best lives”, advocacy is important to allow women and marginalised people to voice stories and campaigns that contribute to change. 

Women’s Health and Equality Queensland has contributed to numerous submission and consultations, and will continue to advocate to promote and prioritise equality for all people.
