Projects and Campaigns

Make the Link is Gippsland Women’s Health campaign which aims to build awareness and understanding of the foundations of men’s violence against women and to specifically highlight the importance of addressing gender inequality to end family violence and men’s violence against women.

Commencing in May 2021, the WoMHEn Project Gippsland was one of 12 regional projects across Victoria, bringing together Gippsland Women’s Health and Gippsland Multicultural Service in an innovative community approach to health and wellbeing for bilingual and migrant women.

“Let’s Chat Gippsland” is a community based campaign across Gippsland as part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence and is focused on the primary prevention of violence against women. Based on the Make the Link strategy, the campaign highlights the significant difference conversations can make – whether at home, work, sport, schools and within the wider community – in shifting mindsets, attitudes, and creating real cultural change for gender equality. Let’s Chat Gippsland is a regional approach to prevention of violence.

Gippsland Women’s Health is the lead provider of prevention of violence against women workforce and community capacity building.

The COVID Memory Museum project was completed between 2021 and 2022 with 32 Latrobe migrant and refugee women participating in the WoMHEn Project activities and discussions.

Are You Covered (AYC) is Gippsland Women’s Health’s regional approach to Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH). AYC was created in 2015 focusing on condoms and consent with tailored resources and condom vending machines installed in public toilets across Gippsland. The AYC brand has since involved into all our SRH strategy work, focusing on all aspects of SRH to improve knowledge and health literacy amongst the Gippsland community.

The Are You Covered magazine is Gippsland Women’s Health’s very first Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) resource.

In this issue, you will find articles and stories of local Gippsland women covering: STIs, Screening, Menopause and Perimenopause, Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis, Masturbation – for your Mind and Body, Labia Library, Abortion, Contraception plus a useful SRH Glossary and a range of support services.

Gippsland Women’s Health is committed to improving ALL Gippsland women’s health and wellbeing outcomes which continue to be impacted by the unequal distribution of power and resources, discrimination and harmful gender norms and practices. Health inequities are further increased for our First Nations women, women living with a disability, migrant and refugee women, and women living in rural and remote areas.
