Gender Equality & Preventing Family Violence

Healesville Women 4 Women

The Healesville Women 4 Women project came out of the local Change the Story network and is a partnership of local organisations and community volunteers led by Eastern Community Legal Centre. Partner organisations include:

  • Yarra Ranges Council
  • HICSA
  • Eastern Health
  • HICCI
  • EACH
  • Uniting Vic Tas
  • Healesville Living & Learning Centre
  • Anchor
  • Healesville Uniting Church
  • Healesville Fitness Centre, and
  • Carrington Health.

The project delivered an International Women's Day event in 2018, to connect and empower women living and working in Healesville. Isolation, stigma and a lack of awareness of family violence services can affect victims/survivor's support seeking behaviours. This event engaged over 100 women and delivered gender equality messaging and community building activities, uniting women through shared personal experiences and visions for the future.
