Amplifying Voices is a lived-experience program for women and gender diverse people who have experienced domestic, family and sexual violence, and homelessness.
Our program is funded by the Northern Territory Government Safe, Respected and Free from Violence Prevention Grants that focuses on strengthening primary prevention projects in the NT.
Amplifying Voices aims to engage a diverse cohort of young women and gender-diverse people in activities that support them to harness their lived experience expertise for leading advocacy in the NT to change attitudes, practices and structures that underpin gender-based violence.
