Through Our Eyes:  Legal needs of women in regional, rural and remote Australia 

Community information sharing and networking

The 'Through-Our-Eyes Follow On Project aims to boost policy input particularly on federal issues relating to women and the law by services, networks and communities in regional, rural and remote Australia ('RRR Women's Legal Networks).

The project builds on the momentum of the Through Our Eyes - National Conference on the Legal Needs of Women in Regional, Rural and Remote Australia and will:

• facilitate information flow to and from RRR Women's Legal Networks,
  
• increase awareness of the way the law and access to services impacts on women in RRR Australia, and
  
• provide a vehicle for ongoing sharing of information and experience to promote effective solutions.

Consistent with the outcomes of the Regional Australia Summit, adopted by the federal government, the project will promote equity in service availability for regional, rural and remote Australia and facilitate work to this end at a community and local level.

The project aims to provide benefits to federal government bodies, non-government organisation networks and project workers seeking to engage and consult with RRR Women's Legal Networks and improve access to information and communication options for RRR Women's Legal Networks.
