Closing the Wealth Gap for Women

Equality Rights Alliance are working on projects to support reducing barriers to women's workforce participation, and advocating for policy change to address financial security inequalities between women. In 2010, representatives from Equality Rights Alliance member organisations participated in Henry Tax Review gender analysis workshops.

During 2011, Equality Rights Alliance documented women's experience of Income Management in the Northern Territory. We listened to women's views on how the new Welfare Payments Reform program affects their day to day life, in the form of statistical surveys and women's stories in their own words. The report is now available for download.
