We're part of the Action for Equity partnership which works to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes for the community by redressing the social, cultural and economic drivers of sexual and reproductive health inequities.
The partnership is guided by a four year strategy and biannual action plans. The partnership is led by Women’s Health West.
Action for Equity’s vision is a community where everyone has
- freedom to express their gender, sex, sexuality and individuality
- the right to healthy, respectful relationships and a pleasurable sex life
- the right to control decision making, to support active and informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health free from violence (including reproductive coercion), stigma and discrimination
- equitable access to health services and programs that are inclusive and culturally sensitive and appropriate.
