Our advocacy and law reform

Working with the community, legal sector, law-makers and government, we advocate for stronger legal protections for Victorians. We do this by encouraging meaningful debate, leading public discussion and participating in government inquires and law reform processes.

Our current advocacy and law reform priorities

Eliminating workplace sexual harassment

Our vision: For all workplaces to be safe and free of sexual harassment and for all employers take steps to prevent harassment occurring and respond to harassment appropriately if it does occur.

Strengthening protections for Victorians under the Equal Opportunity Act

Our vision: For the Equal Opportunity Act to protect a wider range of groups vulnerable to discrimination, to minimise the harmful impact of social exclusion and mistreatment.

Creating stronger laws to protect Victorians from hate conduct

Our vision: For all Victorians to be able to live free from hate conduct in our community through stronger legal protections.

Promoting the rights of LGBTIQ Victorians

Our vision: For LGBTIQ Victorians to no longer be subjected to discrimination in religious schools and for trans, gender diverse and intersex Victorians to be properly recognised and protected by the Equal Opportunity Act.

Improving the operation of the Charter

Our vision: For the fundamental human rights of all Victorians to be protected by a robust, effective and well-utilised Charter that reflects domestic and international human rights developments

Promoting Aboriginal self-determination

Our vision: For Victorian Aboriginals to have the right to decide for themselves how to manage their lands, communities and lives.
