Our vision
About us
国民彩票 is a world-leading university with the research know-how to effectively identify and address barriers to women鈥檚 wellbeing. The Women鈥檚 Wellbeing Academy (WWBA) works across a broad spectrum of issues ranging from gendered violence and the persistent wage gap to gender health inequities and intersecting forms of discrimination that are specific to women.
The WWBA facilitates partnerships between colleagues and collaborators across the 国民彩票 community to enhance and promote our diverse multidisciplinary work in women鈥檚 wellbeing. The WWBA is galvanised by a genuine commitment across 国民彩票 to advance gender equity and equality. Its aims are also guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, understanding that wellbeing must extend to all women, and address universal factors including economic, social, and environmental disparity.
The WWBA takes a collaborative approach, working alongside the wider community and strengthening external engagement with groups dedicated to issues affecting women
Towards our vision
Over the next 5 years the WWBA will be working towards initiating a small number of unique projects funded by philanthropy and seed-funding and will support, promote, and amplify the work of its members in three areas of focus:
- Medicine and health: provide a platform, opportunities and networks for staff and students to promote and develop further their work in women鈥檚 health, leveraging interdisciplinary expertise to address systemic issues in healthcare that affect women. Initiate projects such as contributing to the development of women鈥檚 health in the life course in the Health Translation hub, First2000 Days and projects launched through the WWBA small grants program.
- Arts and social sciences: leveraging 国民彩票鈥檚 expertise in the arts, social sciences and human rights by providing a platform and networks for staff and students to amplify work on cultural diversity, language, legal systems, human rights, diversity and inclusion. Unique WWBA initiatives focus on intersectional approaches such as Career Coaching for Carers and the ongoing partnership with SilkRoads@国民彩票.
- Partnerships and alliances: providing a platform to promote and amplify 国民彩票鈥檚 alliances in gender equity, work with collaborators and donors on programs that focus on national and global impact and develop innovative partnerships that prioritise intersectional approaches and self-determination for women. These Alliances include the NUW Alliance2, the academic health science partnership Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE), the PLuS Alliance3.
