Our vision is that Victorians of all genders:

We want to see progress in key facets of the lives of women and girls, with a focus on improving whole-of-community outcomes including:
- Cultural change: Victoria is free from gender stereotypes, gender roles and prejudices.
- Health and wellbeing: the health and wellbeing of Victorians are not limited by gender.
- Safety and respect: all Victorians are safe and treated with respect.
- Economic and material security: Victorians have equal access to economic and material security.
This program will fund activities across Victoria that contribute to the above goals.
