Right now there are loving
families in our community that can’t be recognised under Australian law. 81% of
young people surveyed by beyondblue in 2008 have been the victims of
verbal or physical abuse because of their sexual orientation. People who want
their true gender identity recognised have to undergo expensive and dangerous
surgery to get legal recognition. Change needs to happen.
In the lead up to the 2010 Federal election both of Australia’s major political parties are failing to commit to any reform or change on these issues, despite numerous recommendations from the Human Rights Commission. Unless our community is motivated to lobby for change, these fundamental inequalities will be left off the Government agenda for another three years. We refuse to let that happen.
Will you help us build our
community’s capacity for change? With your help, we can get our voices into
the national spotlight.
Gay & Lesbian Equality (WA)
is building a new grassroots campaign in our community. We have worked with
some of the top social change organisations in Australia to develop skills and
strategies for achieving change in a Federal Election year. Through online
lobbying tools, information kits and community lobbying workshops, our campaign
aims to build the knowledge, skills and networks needed to make sexuality and
gender equality a key topic for this year’s Federal election.
