The housing and cost of living crisis is deepening gender inequality.

We are calling on the Federal Government to deliver its promise for a better future.

Today is not a day to celebrate.

It is a day to stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples and calls for Voice, Treaty and Truth.

We acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.

It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Great insights on what the changes to the Stage 3 tax cuts mean for women from @eraaustralia

[Equality Rights Alliance @eraaustralia]

We've been calling for changes to the Stage 3 Tax Cuts for years. They unfairly benefited older men & undermined revenue for services needed by women. The Albanese Government's amendments are good for women. Media release here: https://t.co/XXybV1asHC @pmc_gov_au @JEChalmers

Thank you so much to NAB for their recent donation of $13,000. NAB’s donation will go towards creating leadership pathways for young women and gender diverse people with lived experience of homelessness and housing insecurity.

Today is International Human Rights Day. Housing is a Human Right.

Every human being has the right to a safe, affordable home.

Every human being has the right to a home free from violence.

Launching today: "Gender, Housing Insecurity and Homelessness in Australia: Data Insights" research report by YWCA with @UNSWCityFutures. It explores the unique challenges faced by women, First Nations women and young people in the realm of homelessness. https://t.co/ylkKMErxwh

FDV is a major cause of homelessness for women. There is a massive undersupply of housing for women & gender diverse people escaping violence. Sign our petition demanding more dedicated affordable housing for people at risk of or experiencing violence. https://t.co/nFodcwjrmo

CW: discussions of violence against women

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
This year has been a horrific year for violence against women in Australia.

We need action, and we need it now.

This $15.7m @YWCAAus Hutt St development will help ensure they don’t have to & may save lives; it’s an SA 1st

Proud to break ground with @NatCookMP @CityofAdelaide & the Y who have empowered women for 140 years

Last week, we sent in our submission to the Worsening Rental Crisis in Australia.
Our submission was shaped by the voices of our members and our community. Thank you to those who contributed. You can find our submission on our website: https://t.co/9OyqMrbPnF

Women are more likely than men to seek support from Specialist Homelessness Services, and women also make up 2/3 of unmet requests for support. To learn more about the changes we need to see to fix this, download our Policy Platform 2023-24.

We are disappointed to hear that voting on the #HAFF has been held up until October. Australia is experiencing its worst housing affordability crisis in decades, and this delay means thousands of women and their families will continue to struggle. https://t.co/whlPHddzHy

[YWCA Australia @YWCAAus]

We’re proud to launch our transformative Policy Platform 2023-2024, outlining the roadmap to address housing insecurity and homelessness for women and gender diverse people. Learn more: https://t.co/axTLYdSPMo

Has National Volunteer Week inspired you to make a difference? We're looking for volunteer mentors like Kellie to work with young women and gender diverse people in the Wollongong/Shellharbour region.
