Australian Women Against Violence Alliance

AWAVA's focus is addressing all forms of violence against women, to 'ensure that all women and children are able to live free from all forms of violence and abuse'

Sadly, AWAVA was defunded in August 2021, but still exists as an unfunded women's alliance that gets together regularly and we still have the AWAVA Roundup going strong. WESNET is providing support to AWAVA and secretariat support. To reach AWAVA please contact the comms team at wesnet on [email protected] or call 1800 937 638.

Our Work

The Australian Women Against Violence Alliance (AWAVA) was established in March 2010 as one of six National Women’s Alliances funded by the Australian Government.

AWAVA ensures that women’s voices, particularly marginalised women’s voices, are heard by Government, harnessing and amplifying the work of its member organisations, Friends & Supporters.
