Speaking Out Media Advocacy Program (Women’s Health East)

Led by Women’s Health East, in partnership with the Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault (ECASA) and the Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS), the Speaking Out program seeks to influence a change in community attitudes and to promote the prevention of violence against women.

Established in 2011, the program’s main objectives are:

To provide opportunities for women who have experienced violence to undertake advocacy;
To recognise the importance of women’s voices and ensure that the voices of survivor advocates are heard;
To contribute to a more accurate, sensitive and gender equitable public discourse on violence against women;
To contribute to changing community attitudes and behaviours towards violence against women.
To support women in telling their story
