Engender Community

Welcome to the Engender community – where solidarity can transform lives. Our mission is straightforward: we work to empower and inform victim-survivors and eliminate family violence. 

Join us in this journey of compassion and transformation, working together to create a more equitable and just future for all. Many people and families in Tasmania live with the impact of family violence. Your donation will help us support those affected by family violence.

RESPECT

We acknowledge, with deep respect the palawa people, the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania/Van Diemen’s Land). The palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

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.
