City of Melbourne joins the Invisible Woman
We are partnering with The City of Melbourne to develop a first of its kind project tackling the issues of gender and age equity, particularly tackling the disparity in treatment women face once they turn 50, thus becoming ‘invisible’.
The City of Melbourne Social Partnerships program supports the development and delivery of projects and programs that provide equitable opportunities that enable, empower and build the capacity of our diverse community. The Social Partnerships Program aims to ensure that all people can participate in the social, cultural, economic and civic life of the city.
Why are Women (of a certain age) becoming invisible?
Our project targets women of all ages, encouraging the exchange of ideas through story sharing, educating and providing a platform for all women to speak about their experiences. It will have an impact on future generations, by assisting women in their 30’s to make informed decisions, women in their 40’s find meaningful employment and women in their 50’s to exit social isolation.
We will be conducting a series of co design workshops with community and business leaders, to produce an online resource of information, a monthly newsletter, a docuseries, and podcast educating and connecting women across the city.
Women have long been on the receiving end of gender inequality and this partnership has come at a perfect time as women have been hit the hardest during the pandemic in Melbourne.
Join the movement. Stay connected, watch this space.
