National Strategy to Achieve Gender Equality - Discussion Paper

This discussion paper has been developed to support discussion and reflection on gender equality in Australia to inform the National Strategy to Achieve Gender Equality.

Where are we heading?

In many ways, we are clear on what the challenges are – this paper provides an overview of the key issues and statistics that show the status of gender equality in Australia and where we might focus our effort. But we also want the Strategy to provide a vision we can work towards and support a conversation about why gender equality is important for this country and what it could mean for us to get there.
