Having sharpened our focus on researching, designing and delivering evidence-based programs over the last three years, our key focus for 2022-25 is on strengthening our organisation’s reach among communities across Victoria.
Our work is centred on lived experiences and is underpinned by our gender-informed, strength-based model of service delivery, research and training. To us, our unique ways of working are just as important as the outcomes we seek.
We shift the narrative from the dominant focus on the individual living and working within systems that have not been designed for them, to working to change structural and systemic barriers at all levels that oppress, discriminate, or marginalise, by working at every level.
A just and inclusive society where all people can thrive.
At WIRE we work with women, non-binary and gender-diverse people to address the issues they identify, assist them to make informed choices in their lives, and advocate for structural change to bring about gender equity and social justice.
Our principles are our beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. They underpin how we work as a team, the partnerships we form, and the way we research, design and deliver our programs.
