Based on our experience through the YWCA Canberra Board Traineeship Program, this guide will help other organisations implement such programs to support representation in Australian boardrooms, with a resultant broader spectrum of ideas, experiences and opinions.
Leading the change
A Pathway to Gender EqualityACT
YWCA Canberra has released a report setting a clear agenda to achieve gender equality in the ACT. The makes a series of recommendations across four areas that YWCA Canberra believes would have the biggest impact on gender equality for ACT girls and women. This includes gender responsive government, equality in the workplace, a life free from violence and housing security. The report builds on the momentum from the launch of our Gender Equality Report Card, released on International Women’s Day earlier this year.
