The Margins to the Mainstream: preventing violence against women with disabilities project was developed in recognition of the prevalence and seriousness of violence against women with disabilities.
It builds from the collaborative work undertaken over a number of years by the Together For Equality and Respect Partnership on the primary prevention of violence against women and the commitment of the Partners to deepening intersectional practice (see TFER Strategy here) in the eastern metropolitan area of Melbourne.
The project is led by Women’s Health East, in partnership with Women with Disabilities Victoria (WDV), and the Together For Equality & Respect partnership.
Women’s Health East acknowledges the support of the Australia Government Department of Social Services.
