VCOSS Disaster Recovery Conversation series: Gender and disaster recovery

The VCOSS Disaster Recovery Conversation series provides an opportunity for leaders, staff and volunteers of community and social service organisations to network and gain access to in depth expert knowledge on topical issues relating to emergencies and disasters.

This month's Conversation will focus on gender and disaster recovery. We will share recent research and practice, and have your questions answered.

Speakers include:

• Steve O’Malley and Rachael Mackay, Gender and Disaster Australia
• Jen Hargrave, Senior Policy Officer, Women with Disabilities Victoria
• Dr Regina Torres-Quiazon, Research, Advocacy and Policy Manager, Multicultural Centre for Women’s Health
• Jenny Beales, Community Member and Women’s Health Grampians Advocate

Auslan interpreters will be booked for this event.

VCOSS is the peak representative body for Victoria’s social and community sector, and the state’s leading social advocacy organisation.

We work towards creating a Victoria that is fair, just and inclusive. A society where nobody is trapped by poverty, and everybody is supported to live a life of wellbeing.
