25.01.2022 The data shows that we still have a long way to go before we achieve gender equality in the Australian workplace. It is difficult to identify discrimination or disadvantage at work. Often, it is only when the facts and figures are added up that it becomes obvious that gender can have a big impact on a career. This is why gender equality is everyone’s business.... https://www.wgea.gov.au//workplace/pay-gaps-and-life-hacks

23.01.2022 When we talk as ONE, violence against women comes out from behind closed doors. Violence against women and girls in most societies goes unrecognized and unreported because we are afraid to communicate about it. Violence against women is a public issue and it is a public concern that affects all segments of society.

23.01.2022 Attitudes to Gender Equality and Violence Against Women In this video 4 of our local youth in Greater Shepparton City Council , Liaqat Ahmadi Falah Aldulimi Samaha Elnour and Ashirah Faitele Scanlan speak about some attitudes to gender equality. 1 women is killed by her current or former partner almost every week in Australia.... 1 in 5 Australians believe men should take control in relationships Even though controlling behaviour is a key factor in abusive relationships. 12% of Australians believe men deserve scarce jobs more than women Even though many women are the main breadwinners in a modern household. 13% of Australians believe discrimination is no longer a problem in the workplace Even though 49% of women still experience workplace discrimination 1 in 5 Australians believe a drug or alcohol affected woman is partially to blame if she’s sexually assaulted Even though you can’t legally give consent when intoxicated* Over 60% of Australians believe a woman could leave a violent relationship if she wanted to Even though thats when she’s most likely to be killed. Over 1 in 3 women have been a victim of a mans violent behaviour* As long as we all continue to see women as less than equal to men disrespect and violence against women will continue to happen.

16.01.2022 ‘Gender equality’ means equal outcomes for women, men and gender-diverse people. ‘Gender equity’ is the process to achieve gender equality. Gender equity recognises that women and gender-diverse people are not in the same ‘starting position’ as men. This is because of historical and social disadvantages. Treating women, gender-diverse people and men equally might not actually be fair. In fact, it can create further disadvantage. Gender equity measures are often needed to leve...l the playing field. https://16daysactivist.whwest.org.au//learn-what-the-patr/ #EthnicCouncil #Shepparton #Diversity #SocialJustice #Equality #Equity #MultiCulturalism #Unite #Culture #Harmony #Unity #Respect #Refugees #Migration #Advocacy #SocialChange #Youth #ColourAndCulture #Feminism #Community #Empowerment #HumanRights
15.01.2022 Happy NAIDOC week everyone. This week we celebrate the history, culture and achievements of First Nations' People. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. We wish to recognises that First Nations' people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years and that the First Nations' Peop...le are spiritually and culturally connected to this country. This years theme is about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country. We want all Australians to celebrate that Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people have the oldest continuing cultures on the planet and to recognise that First Nations' sovereignty was never ceded.

13.01.2022 Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and therefore also half of its potential. But, today gender inequality persists everywhere and stagnates social progress. Women continue to be underrepresented at all levels of political leadership. Across the globe, women and girls perform a disproportionate share of unpaid domestic work. Inequalities faced by girls can begin right at birth and follow them all their lives. In some countries, girls are deprived of ac...cess to health care or proper nutrition, leading to a higher mortality rate. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/gender-equality/ #EthnicCouncil #Shepparton #Diversity #SocialJustice #Equality #Equity #MultiCulturalism #Unite #Culture #Harmony #Unity #Respect #Refugees #Migration #Advocacy #SocialChange #Youth #ColourAndCulture #Feminism #Community #Empowerment #HumanRights #Racism #StopRacism #Discrimination #AntiDiscrimination #Indigenous #Leadership #HumanRace #Peace

02.01.2022 Social isolation makes us anxious because humans ourselves are built to be social and to function and flourish in groups. When we are isolated, we might be feeling really stressed out, anxious, and sad. Some of the tips you can use to manage this period of isolation is first of all identify that it is actually okay to feel stressed out, because its an unusual set of circumstances that all of us face. ... Second of all, we really need to increase our coping strategies to manage our stress. For some people, it might be actually slowing everything down, so it could be things like meditation, listening to relaxation music. For other people it could be increasing their activities, so it could be doing some home exercises. So, there is lots of variety of things we can do and its about trying to find what works for you. If you need immediate support or to talk to a counsellor visit beyondblue.org.au or lifeline.org.au.
