Engender Equality’s Update, February 2025
Submission on Police powers and responsibilities in Tasmania, February 2025
This submission provides an analysis of police powers and responsibilities in Tasmania, from a particular gender and family/sexual violence perspective.
Engender Equality highlights the critical need for additional support from specialist family violence practitioners to inform the police response to family and sexual violence.
Engender Equality also calls for an independent mechanism to respond to victim-survivors experiences of systems abuse.
Submission to Our Ways - Strong Ways - Our Voices: National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan to End Family, Domestic, and Sexual Violence, February 2025
This case study has been jointly produced by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre (TAC) and Engender Equality to showcase our partnership that has successfully run in Nipaluna/Hobart for over four (4) years.
The partnership stands under a shared vision for the Tasmanian community, where all victim-survivors have access to relevant and tailored services to support their healing and recovery.
Through this partnership we have built a place-based collaboration for Tasmanian Aboriginal families in a safe and trauma informed environment.
