Women's Safety Program
Women's Safety Program
The Women’s Safety Program was an initiative of Eyes for Life Canberra that provided educational safety-themed workshops for vulnerable women to empower themselves and increase their sense of self-reliance, confidence, and personal safety.
The Program was delivered by subject matter experts from local and national organisations to hundreds of women from ACT and surrounds from February 2023 to June 2025 as a series of 12-week Programs, 10-week Programs, and a Workshop Series.
We extend our gratitude to the following organisations for their involvement in the Women’s Safety Program:
The Women’s Safety Program was generously funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services’ Strong and Resilient Communities – Inclusive Communities grant.
