Gender equality
We are committed to promoting and protecting gender equality and women’s rights across all our work.
The Australian Volunteers Program's approach to gender equality is led by our partners.
Partner organisations are the experts on what works in their community. Our support is decided by our partners, and what they need to continue their work. Partnering with gender equality organisations is how we make our biggest contribution.
Learn more about our contributions to advancing gender equality by reading through our 2021 research summary on the topic.
Our approach to gender equality is underpinned by a series of commitments. Read the program’s Gender Equality Strategy to learn more about our approach, goals, and principles.
