This social enterprise project is designed to do good, to bring together team and to provide hope to people in need. In 2016 the compelling need was for women in leadership. So the vibrant volunteer team, with skills and a willingness to collaborate, share and learn created a journal, two workshops, events and a positive social media postcard campaign that all centred on uplifting women leading. At the time it made quite an impact on those who came into contact with it. It continues to do good amongst our partners. You can learn more about the process by linking into the timeline to the left.

With this small and significant pilot project we learned a lot about who we are, what we want to produce and how we want to move forward. We have narrowed our mission to focus on One Hope Two Give. Our plans for the next period of time are to better understand the distribution and measurement of hope. Who needs some hope and what does hope mean anyway? Watch this space as we are going to find out together.

Women are a little over half the adult Australian population and there are persistent over, under and mis-representations of women within our society.

Women comprise about half of the Australian workforce, yet they continue to be under-represented in visible leadership roles, in key executive and board positions and as parliamentarians. Women’s voices are not being heard. The paucity of women leaders in key forums of critical decision-making in our society restricts, diminishes and silences women’s voices.

One woman is killed each week by her partner or former partner. A quarter of women have experienced violence from their partner and women are three times more likely than men to experience this kind of domestic violence. One in three Australian girls and women have experienced physical violence, since the age of 15. Domestic violence is under-reported and the media’s treatment of violence against women forms part of the context for the prevalence of domestic violence.
