Rural Challenge seeks to prevent sexism and violence against women by equipping and inspiring traditionally male-dominated volunteer organisations to make organisational and cultural changes to become more gender equitable.
It will be offered to CFA brigades and football and netball clubs in the Macedon Ranges and City of Greater Bendigo.
Women’s Health Loddon Mallee, AFL Central Victoria and CFA North-West Region are partnering with both councils to deliver the project.
Rural Challenge was one of 10 projects to receive funding from the Municipal Association of Victoria’s Local Government Preventing Violence Against Women Grants Program.
The project will start with a series of forums later this year, where the councils will seek expressions of interest.
For more information, call Stephen Hiley at Macedon Ranges on 5422 0333.
