Women's rights

Everyone deserves fair treatment – but women often face unfair treatment because of their sex and assumptions about their abilities due to outdated gender stereotypes. Women are also more likely to be sexually harassed than men, which can prevent them from participating fully in paid work or public life. There are laws in Victoria to protect people from discrimination and sexual harassment, and to ensure that everyone can contribute meaningfully to society.
