The Working Women’s Centre SA proudly supports the rights of all people, including trans and gender diverse people, to live their lives with dignity and respect, to access healthcare, and to be free from violence and harassment.

Women experience harassment, discrimination, violence and abuse in many forms — from workplace discrimination and domestic violence to sexual assault and being silenced or dismissed. We know what gender-based discrimination and violence look like, and we refuse to allow these experiences to be used to justify discrimination against trans people.

We reject the harmful anti-trans narratives that claim to speak for us.

Not in Our Name (NION) Australia is bringing women together to stand in solidarity with trans people and reject attempts to use women’s experiences of discrimination and gender-based violence to justify the exclusion of trans communities. Gender equality cannot be achieved by marginalising people.

We are rejecting the discrimination and exclusion of trans people in our name. Sign NION Australia’s open letter here: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/nionwomenaus/

We wear purple so every LGBTQIA+SB young person knows they are seen, supported and never alone.

At the Working Women’s Centre SA, we welcome diversity. When we say “working women”, this includes cis and trans women.

We work for gender equity and safer workplaces, including workplaces where trans and gender diverse workers are respected and supported.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and able to be themselves. This Wear It Purple Day, we stand with LGBTQIA+SB young people and support their right to be safe, included and proud of who they are.

Due to unfair gender stereotypes, women are often expected to do more unpaid caring and domestic work. The same stereotypes also stigmatise men who play a caring role in their families.

When flexibility is genuinely available to people of all genders, it can support a more equitable sharing of paid and unpaid work and help create more inclusive workplaces.

Caring responsibilities, pregnancy, disability, health, study and different stages of life can all shape what people need from work.

Join us for Flexible Work: rights, requests & what works, a free webinar exploring workers’ rights, workplace responsibilities and practical ways to make flexibility work for people and workplaces.

Presented by Corinne Grant, Principal Lawyer, and Emma Ashley, Education & Training Officer at the Working Women’s Centre SA.

For generations, many First Nations women and girls were denied wages for their labour, including those forced into domestic service in South Australia. Their stories, labour and resistance must not be forgotten.

Apron-Sorrow / Sovereign-Tea by scholar and activist Dr Natalie Harkin brings these histories to light through archival research and the lived experiences of women who survived this system and their families.

The award-winning book is available from Wakefield Press. Scan the QR code to purchase a copy.

Stolen wages is unfinished business. Stand in solidarity with First Nations workers and learn more about the fight for truth-telling and archival justice.

Today is Equal Pay Day.

The Working Women’s Centre (WWC) team hit the streets to find out how much people know about it.

In 2026, women in Australia need to work an extra 48 days, on average, to earn what men earned in the previous financial year.

Each year, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) calculates Equal Pay Day using total remuneration — including base salary, overtime, bonuses and other payments — giving us a clearer picture of the overall difference in earnings between women and men.

Watch to hear what people had to say and hear from Corinne Grant, Principal Lawyer at the WWC, as we unpack Equal Pay Day.

How much did you know about Equal Pay Day? Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments.



Note: there are multiple ways to calculate the gender pay gap. The information we’ve shared is from WGEA (the Workplace Gender Equality Agency).
