The Australian Government is firmly committed to gender equality and advancing the human rights of women and girls both globally and in the Indo-Pacific.
Gender equality benefits everyone. It creates opportunities for everyone to thrive, while making our region more secure, resilient, and inclusive.
DFAT’s work includes:
- implementation of the Australia's International Gender Equality Strategy.
- oversight of the Gender Equality Fund to drive innovative gender equality initiatives
- engaging on gender equality issues in multilateral fora, principally through the Commission on the Status of Women, and a range of regional and specialist technical groupings.
DFAT is also responsible for coordinating whole-of-government implementation of Australia’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security 2021-2031, and supporting the Ambassador for Gender Equality.
