About the organisation
YWCA Australia is an evolving intersectional feminist organisation. We are working to develop a strong, intersectional feminist understanding across the organisation and ensure our decisions are informed by principles and criteria for intersectional decision-making, impact and sustainability.
Gender equality requires systems thinking and systems change. We need to understand how systems, structures and processes can drive different outcomes and experiences for women and people of marginalised genders in all their diversity. Intersectionality considers colonial, racial, social and political contexts and recognises the discrimination and oppression enforced by systems on individuals and their experiences. We cannot achieve gender equality without an intersectional lens in all that we do, advocate for and seek to change.
