A future where people with disability, inclusive of all identities, experience
social and sexual safety everywhere and always.


Mel Harrison sits in her wheelchair delivering a speech at the Safer Girls Safer
Women 2022 symposium, next to an Auslan interpreter signing.





THE PROJECT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Safer Girls Safer Women Project is a 3-year project to develop a National
Framework and Best Practice Guidelines for sexual health, respectful
relationships and consent education.

 The 2022 Safer Girls Safer Women Symposium launched the project. The event was
a conversation led by women, girls and non-binary people with disability about
what safety means to them. See videos from the day to hear from the speakers.

The project builds on Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT’s (SHFPACT) existing
social and sexual safety program, SoSAFE!.

WHY GIRLS AND WOMEN*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The project is funded by the Office for Women and the Department of Social
Services as a gender equality initiative. Social and sexual safety is a gendered
issue and our name, Safer Girls Safer Women, responds to that.

However, we acknowledge the limitations and exclusions of this language.

Our work directly supports people with disability who identify as women, girls,
feminine identifying, non-binary, and people raised female. As we co-create this
culture of safety, our community as a whole becomes safer, inclusive of all
gender identities and expressions.

Learn more about the intersectional barriers for women* with disability at Women
with Disabilities ACT.
