Policy & Advocacy

This submission reframes gender equality as central to Australia’s national security and economic resilience. It outlines how gender-based violence, economic inequality, insecure work, housing stress and online misogyny undermine national wellbeing and social cohesion. The submission highlights disproportionate impacts on First Nations women, migrant and refugee women, women with disabilities and women in rural and regional areas, and calls for integrated, gender-responsive policy across security, economic and social systems.
