WHGNE is proud to be a part of the consortium, led by Gippsland Women’s Health, which recently received a grant from the e-Safety Commissioner. This exciting opportunity will allow participating women’s health organisations to engage with rural and regional women across Victoria about e-safety and digital equity.
The project* will center co-design, with women from rural and regional communities to drive the process of developing violence prevention training modules and digital self-defense resources aimed at addressing the drivers of tech-based abuse. This project is all about improving women’s safety and fostering online spaces where everyone feels safe, respected and included. WHGNE will keep people in our region updated as the project gets underway in 2024 – in the mean time, keep reading to learn about the context of keeping women safe online.
