20.01.2022 Girls in Business! Meet @wildflower.ha - a new initiative of our charity partner @Liverpool Neighbourhood Connections launching this brilliant new project as part of their #StriveforGirls program. Sydney Women's Fund Portrait III Research told us that women's financial vulnerability is a huge issue for Sydney women, this project is a new way for girls to develop financial capability skills early and support their independence. Always innovating LNC is building on the lessons... from their long running LNC Women's Business Incubator - now a pop up shop @therisingcollectiveboutique. The Women's Business Incubator is kindly supported by @naomitosic and @theofficespace - Insight series. As a community foundation, we partner with local grassroots charities like LNC for multiple years so they have time to pilot programs, test what works and evolve their work to meet the growing needs of our local communities. We're recognising their work as part of International #DayOfTheGirl, recognising all girls’ rights and challenges that they may face across the world. #SalutingSydneyWomen

Domestic violence related assaults in Sutherland Shire increased by 31 per cent over the period, while the number of sexual assaults rose by 50.7 per cent. Police say a greater awareness and willingness of victims to report incidents is contributing to the increase. Orana Women's Health is the local grassroots service providing critical support to women experiencing fam...ily violence. This spring, Sydney Women's Fund is supporting their vital DV Counsellor whose role was at risk of being decontinued due to lack of funding.
