POLICY SUMMARY

To read the full details of the Greens NSW Women Policy click the orange download button on the right.

For women to be full participants in the community, they must be free from violence and discrimination, able to access education and employment that recognises their experiences, have control over their reproductive health and be able to participate in political processes.

The Greens will work to remove barriers to women’s participation, properly fund and support government efforts to advance women’s rights, wellbeing and participation, strengthen a whole-of-government approach to violence against women and challenge negative portrayals of women in advertising.

Women have the right to equal access and participation in decision-making processes in all areas of political, social, intellectual and economic endeavour.  They must be supported to make life choices about sexual identity, health, child-bearing, and how they balance participation in paid work with caring responsibilities.

The Greens NSW will work towards significant improvements in:

  • Women’s political and public participation
  • Women’s health initiatives
  • The full participation of women in the workforce
  • Women and education
  • Women and the environment
  • Women and sport
