We engage survivors
of gender-based violence so their voices and perspectives inform programs and policies.
Engaging with women with lived experience of gender-based violence is central to WomanACT’s work. We believe that survivors’ personal experiences of systemic barriers are key to creating solutions to overcome them. That’s why we engage survivors in research, public policy processes and decision making.
