The Queensland Government is excited to announce the release of the new Queensland Women’s Strategy 2022-27 (the strategy).
About the Women’s Strategy
The strategy is about ensuring the future economic security, safety and health of women and girls across the state. Also important is elevating First Nations women and listening to women from diverse backgrounds. We also want to draw attention to women’s stories and successes to empower and inspire.
The strategy provides a basis for ensuring the policies and decisions are informed and influenced by women’s voices both now and in the future.
The primary focus of the Queensland Women’s Strategy 2022-27 is to strengthen women’s economic security. A lack of financial independence amplifies every other barrier to achieving gender equality and the Government is committed to working together to ensure wherever possible that all Queenslanders can thrive from the economic prosperity that comes from increased gender quality.
Priorities
There are four other priority areas:
- Women’s safety, access to health and broader well-being
- Elevating Frist Nations women in decision making
- Women with diverse background and experiences
- Supporting and empowering women into leadership roles in every aspect of life.
The strategy is for all Queenslanders – governments, businesses, individuals and communities. Everyone has a part to play in achieving gender equality.
We would also like to acknowledge all the people who contributed to the consultation of the strategy. Your input has helped us to capture the voices of women and girls across Queensland.
