Aberlea seeing renewed success

MOYNE Shire Council’s offices at Mortlake and Port Fairy will be bathed in orange light for the next 16 days as a public show of support for the 16 days of activism campaign.
Moyne Shire mayor Karen Foster said while lighting the buildings was a public display of support for the next 16 days, council’s work towards ending gender inequality and gender-based violence was happening 365 days a year.
“It’s something we take very seriously, and because gender inequality is the soil in which violence against women grows, we are determined to ensure that the places we live, work and play are fair and equal,” she said.
“As a public organisation we have responsibilities under the Gender Equality Act and we complete gender impact assessments on every policy and program to create better and fairer outcomes and to make sure all people have equal access to opportunities and resources.
“Council is a large employer and we know that workplaces can have a major influence on people’s behaviours.”
