eS4W Projects

eS4W has completed many projects since it was established, either developing its own or supporting other organsiations to develop their own projects that reflect our agreed priorities and strengthen their work. 

Following the completion of a major research project early in 2004, eS4W issued a Summary Paper, “What Women Want” (http://www.security4women.org.au/wp-content/uploads/What-Women-Want-Survey.pdf) which outlines the results of the national survey and research findings. It identifies the varying factors that enhance or hinder women’s ability to seek or choose pathways to acquire economic sustainability. The “What Women Want” survey results demonstrated that women, irrespective of age, education and socio-economic status, were remarkably consistent in their choices for policy direction. In order, the three most highly preferred economic measures to improve women’s wellbeing were:

• work arrangements that help balance family and other responsibilities
• affordable education and training for all ages
• equality of male and female wages and salaries

eS4W continues to build on these themes and some of the recent work is listed below. A full history of past reports and projects is available here.
