Thinking it through: understanding culturally responsive work and learning services for women

What factors and service features can help or hinder women’s participation in employment and education?

This report is part of a toolkit produced from the Making it Happen project supported by the Victorian Women’s Benevolent Trust and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence to encourage gender and culturally responsive services.

The report briefly reviews the issues that shape women’s participation in employment and education; draws on research with women in public housing in inner-Melbourne suburbs including Fitzroy and Collingwood and with staff at the Centre for Work and Learning, Yarra; and identifies the key elements of responsive services.
