Initiatives for Women in Need Inc (IWiN) is a Canberra (ACT) based volunteer led organisation that was established in April 2013 to support and advocate for women and children, who are coming from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and families experiencing domestic violence, gender inequality and discrimination at home and at work, including cultural and legal barriers.

Over time, IWiN’s work has expanded to include policy advocacy and research on other broader social justice issues affecting women and their families – such as, mental health and wellbeing, job market barriers for migrants, overseas skills non-recognition, workplace flexibility, racism and sexual harassment at workplace, culture sensitive services for women and youth etc.

IWiN has been the WINNER of the 2021 ACT Community Organisation (Multicultural Champion) Award for its impactful advocacy work on domestic violence.
