AWAUs Current Projects and Opportunities

Being at the intersection of racism, gender, eliminating violence against women and COVD-19 in Austr

Are you interested in being part of reclaiming the narrative on violence against women for generations to come? African Women Australia Inc. is looking for people to join our project as participants, engaging in discussions in your state/territory that will explore the diverse experiences of Black women and their views on racism, gender inequality and violence against women.


This project aims to build an alternative narrative for addressing violence against women in the national context, cross-link ideas for structural change and build solidarity platforms that link to black women's experiences of violence against women, to other violent systems of oppression.
