Voices of Women has an immediate and strong impact on women by:
- boosting self esteem, resilience and belief in themselves
- backing their problem solving skills and their ability to navigate their own decisions
- strengthening community connections and decreasing isolation
- supporting positive mental health and wellbeing through creative empowerment
WHAT WOMEN SAY :
“I felt nobody was listening to me! I feel so much better that I’ve shared that story – that I’ve got it out! I feel stronger now.” Emily O’Brien, workshop attendee
“Being accepted into this program was a life changing event for me in many ways. It gave me such confidence and since then my creativity has developed in a way I couldn’t have imagined.” Edilia Ford, Sydney, corporate escapee.
Your support helps us reach more women, share their stories, and create lasting change through art and connection.
OUR IMPACT
Encouraging women to come forward and share their voice: over 2000 women have created and submitted stories since 2018, with 170 women attending workshops.
Acknowledging and celebrating diversity: We celebrate women of all ages, with First Nations women at the heart, from culturally and linguistically diverse communities, female-identifying and women from LGBTQI+ community.
Developing self esteem, confidence and identity: We mentor women through workshops to learn new skills and be empowered to share their story and connect with others. Their life experience is not only acknowledged but respected and valued.
Facilitating cultural connection: We work together openly and transparently – with arts organisations, local councils, writers groups, drama and film groups, health and cultural centres, and creative hubs.
Building a community: This program brings diverse people together through events and workshops to celebrate the ways we can connect through our differences.
Empowering through innovative creativity: Multi-layered, experimental, brave. We have presented 20 live readings and theatrical productions with actors, and commission new music that engages and inspires.
