Support The Girls Australia
The aim of Support The Girls Australia is to contribute to the foundation of a new social order for disenfranchised and isolated women, and the communities in which they live in. We are creating a platform that changes the hearts of its women, by burning away the prejudices of homelessness, social isolation, poverty by enabling women to rediscover their merits, reinstate their creative capacity, empower their dignity, enable their motives and transform their relationships between themselves and their respective community.
We aim to provide a grassroots framework of action to empower women to escape the cycle of poverty, violence, trauma or multiple structural oppressions. Transformation of the individual and transformation of the community unfold simultaneously. Spaces are created for women from all walks of life to foster relationships with other women in the community regardless of income, creed, age, or cultural background.
The women we support have experienced, or are experiencing, domestic violence, financial hardship, homelessness, loss of a spouse or family member and various other circumstances beyond their control. Support the Girls Australia want to cater for all facets of being disadvantaged. We aim to delve into the root causes of each individual’s hardship, and then equip them with the resources and knowledge required to overcome it.
We do this by:
Reaching out to vulnerable and disadvantaged women and girls within our community
Providing support services to meet the basic needs of vulnerable women and girls who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, disadvantaged and marginalised through poverty
Providing bras and personal hygiene items to women and girls
Providing personal support and advocacy for vulnerable women and girls
Enhancing personal development, relationship skills and other life skills for those who access our service through the provision of personal and group support in a variety of responses and activities
To identify need in our communities and work to address that for the target groups identified
The media often portray a drug and alcohol fueled image of disenfranchised women and we know, from first hand experience, that this image could not be further from the truth. Our mission is to tackle this stigma by unveiling each woman’s full potential.
