| Regional Rural Women's Reference Groups |
|
Regional Rural Women's Reference Groups were established in every DPCD rural region to support the Rural Women Leading Change Program. Representation includes women from a wide range of sectoral, geographic and cultural communities across the region. The Regional Rural Women’s Reference Groups offer informed feedback from their local networks on what is happening in their region, and share information about successful approaches and new initiatives in order to strengthen the capacity of rural and regional women to participate and lead in their communities, and engage and connect rural women to the climate change agenda and programs, as well as other significant issues in their communities. The Barwon South West Rural Women’s Reference Group covers the area from Geelong to the South Australian border and north of Hamilton. Nineteen women are members of the group and they meet quarterly.
