Gender Equity Victoria (GEN VIC) acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the Country on which we work. We extend our acknowledgement to Traditional Owners across Victoria, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded—this always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.

As an organisation committed to advancing gender equity and social justice, GEN VIC firmly believes that we all have a role to play in creating a fairer, more inclusive Victoria. That’s why we are proud to walk alongside the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria on the journey to Treaty, and we call upon our members, partners and communities to join us.

GEN VIC is committed to upholding the principle of self-determination. We support First Peoples in Victoria as they assert their rights, tell their truths, and chart a path towards, and healing through, Treaty-making. Together, we will create a future where First Peoples’ voices are heard, rights are respected, and justice is realised for generations to come.
