The Tasmanian Government is committed to advancing gender equality and celebrating the invaluable contributions of Tasmanian women.
The International Women’s Day Small Grants Program (the Program) is a key action of the Equal means Equal: Tasmanian Women’s Strategy 2022 – 2027 (Equal Means Equal Strategy).
The Equal Means Equal strategy’s vision is:
‘for a Tasmania where women and girls have access to equal choice, opportunity and resources to participate in our economic, social, political and community life.
Where gender equality is embedded in our culture, attitudes and practices, recognising the diversity of Tasmanian women and girls.’
The Strategy’s goals of cultural change, empowerment, and visibility are advanced through actions that improve outcomes in the areas of:
- Economic Security
- Leadership and Participation
- Safety
- Health and Wellbeing
The funding will contribute to local projects which:
- Celebrate women and their achievements
- Support participation by women and girls who face barriers to engagement, connection or access.
You are encouraged to consider how your event, activity or project aligns with the Tasmania Government’s commitments under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This could include making sure your event, activity or project is culturally respectful to, or captures data on the experiences of Aboriginal girls and/or women.
