Engender Equality

For over 30 years, Engender Equality has worked with and on behalf of individuals, families and communities affected by family and domestic violence in Tasmania.

We see gender inequality as both the cause and the context of family violence. Only by actively challenging gender-based oppression can we achieve positive and respectful relationships within healthy, inclusive structures and institutions. This outcome will ultimately benefit the whole Tasmanian community.

A dynamic, evolving organisation, Engender Equality’s philosophies, practice and resources are based around lived experience and grounded in cutting-edge research. Our progressive approach, combined with three decades of skills, knowledge and hands-on involvement gives us an edge in the fight for gender equality in Tasmania.

We provide:

• Trauma-informed and evidence-based counselling
• Locally-sourced information
• Specialised, world-class, evidence-based resources
• Education and support for individuals and groups affected by violence
• Community training and education
• Referral, where appropriate
• Advocacy for systemic change to gender inequity and violence against women
