Our equal state: Victoria’s gender equality strategy and action plan is our roadmap for the next four years of action in gender equality.
When it comes to gender equality, Victoria leads the nation. We’ve taken great strides towards making the state fairer and more equal for all. We’ve invested in the things that matter to women and girls, and we’re creating more opportunities for them than ever before.
Summary
Acknowledgements

Foreword from the Victorian Government
When it comes to gender equality, Victoria leads the nation.
Our equal state – at a glance
All Victorians live in a safe and equal society, have access to equal power, resources and opportunities, and are treated with dignity, respect and fairness.
Introduction – Our equal state
Gender inequality most deeply affects the lives of women, girls and gender diverse people. Globally, women and gender diverse people still do not have the same opportunities as men.
Childhood and youth
Our early years are the most important for learning and establishing the foundations for future wellbeing.
Adulthood
Our equal state seeks to address gendered barriers so Victorians can reach their full potential at home, work and in the community.
Older age
The effect of gender inequality builds through younger years and adulthood and affects older women the most.
Leading the way in the public sector
Government is in a unique position to lead by example and promote gender equality in Victoria.
Our actions – Our equal state
Our actions include new commitments, areas for future work, and successful programs and policies.
Measuring our impact
The gender equality outcomes framework is a tool that helps us track the impact of our work and our progress towards gender equality over time.
