17.01.2022 Gender equity aims to provide everyone with fair treatment according to their respective needs. Women and men should have the right to equal social status, power and opportunities and all of our voices, ideas and work should be valued regardless of our gender- however this is not the case.

13.01.2022 Keeping fit and active is important, so why not try a new sport or activity with your children, whether that be dancing or kicking the footy. Play shouldn’t be limited by dated gender stereotypes; all children should have equal opportunities to stay healthy and have fun!

10.01.2022 It is important that as parents we avoid gender stereotypes with or kids and do not influence our children's behaviour based on their gender. To better support our kids, we should allow them to participate in activities that match their interests, speak to them in ways that acknowledge their personality and make sure to model different household duties in your relationship. Here is a great resource to assist you in avoiding gender stereotypes with your kids: https://whe.org.au/wp-conte//sites/3/2017/11/NL-poster.png
