Equality for All, currently on its second round, will continue to strengthen the CoRE Alliance while raising awareness of diversity and empowering local women to be Equality Advocates. Nine women from diverse backgrounds have been employed to champion change across the Grampians region.
As a regional and rural women’s health service, we recognise the power of sport in preventing violence against women. Our local communities are tightknit and sport is often a key reason for that. Sport can be a great vehicle for change.
