The NSW Government is inviting women across the state to shape the direction and priorities of the next NSW Women’s Strategy, with public consultation opening today.
The NSW Women’s Strategy provides a policy framework to help improve the lives of women by addressing the structural issues that affect gender equality.
Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said it’s important that the Strategy reflects the priorities and experiences of a diverse range of women from metro and regional NSW.
“Getting the next Strategy right relies on us understanding what is working well for women and what areas we need to focus on,” Mrs Taylor said.
“The more women we hear from, the better understanding we have of what we need to do to improve the lives of all women in our state, no matter their age, their background or their postcode.”
“We’ve made incredible progress in improving economic opportunity for women in NSW since the last strategy was released four years ago, but there is still work to be done to improve women’s health and wellbeing and increase women’s participation in our communities.”
The NSW Government’s Women’s Economic Opportunities Review announced in February 2022 complements the development of the new NSW Women’s Strategy.
Public consultation is open to all women, and any individuals or organisations that work closely with women. Online public consultation is open from Tuesday, 24 May until 5pm Monday, 20 June.
