Deadline: 31-Dec-23
The Office of Gender Equity and Diversity General Grants Program is providing grants for projects, services and events that meet the objectives of the action plan by promoting gender equality in the Northern Territory.
Gender inequality affects the whole community, including women, men, and members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQI+) communities. Funding is available to eligible individuals, organisations or community groups for a project, service or activity that promotes gender equality in the Northern Territory.
Focus Areas
- Community Engagement: seeks to improve Territorians understanding about gender, gender diversity, and the drivers of gendered violence and gender inequality.
- Health and Wellbeing: recognises that sex and gender are powerful social determinants of health and wellbeing.
- Safety: seeks to ensure that all Territorians are safe, respected and able to live free from violence.
- Economic Security: targets gender inequality in the areas of education, employment and financial resilience and literacy across the life course.
