We need to empower women and recognise their achievements to become a gender equal Queensland.
Our aim
People will celebrate women and their achievements. Hearing their stories will inspire other women. We’ll empower and support them so they can be leaders in every aspect of life. They’ll be able to speak up, share their opinions and influence big decisions that affect everyone.
Our commitment to women and girls
The Queensland Government will:
- think about what it means for women and men when we spend money, create new programs or make new laws
- help women and girls succeed in jobs men usually do
- make sure women and men have the same access to flexible work arrangements
- help women find a safe and secure place to live long term
- help girls to do more STEM subjects at school
- work with the Australian Government on what women and girls need in Queensland.
