Our commitment to gender diversity and inclusion

Women’s Health Victoria is a proud intersectional feminist organisation. We acknowledge that patriarchy and structural inequality cause real harms, especially to women, nonbinary, trans, intersex and gender-diverse people.

Until now, Women’s Health Victoria has served non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people in some ways. We are now intentionally transforming our organisational capability, workforce, engagement, service delivery and culture to build a more inclusive and safe environment for all program users and staff.

As an intersectional feminist organisation, Women’s Health Victoria will work towards meaningful inclusivity, guided by and supporting people who identify as women, non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse.

To do this, we will:

Value the lived experience of women and non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people
Acknowledge the innovations and leadership that non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people have contributed to feminist theory and action
Engage deeply with women and non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people people to develop our knowledge and perspectives
Partner and work collaboratively with non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse organisations to effect real change for women, non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people
Provide safe, inclusive and equitable services for women, non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people
Provide a safe and inclusive workplace for all women, non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse people

This is a process and we may not always get it right. We will seek and value feedback from the non-binary, trans, intersex and gender diverse communities and be accountable to our partners and stakeholders from diverse communities.
