Welcome to W.E.A.V.E.
We are a National Women’s Alliance that aims to eliminate all forms of male violence (including sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, sexual exploitation and trafficking). Our vision is to ensure that all women and children are able to live free from all forms of violence and abuse.
In drawing together key stakeholders that make up the ‘violence against women sector’ as well as survivors, and activist and interest groups, WEAVE embeds a wealth and diversity of experience and expertise within a single body.
WEAVE Inc employs a human rights framework that recognises that gendered violence is one of the most serious and widespread violations of fundamental
human rights.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity
WEAVE Inc is committed to representing
and working respectfully with the diversity
of women in Australia.
Feminist framework
WEAVE Inc works within a feminist framework that recognises that gendered violence is both a consequence and cause of gender inequity, embedded deeply within
all levels of our society, and that efforts
to end such violence must be accountable to women and promote women’s empowerment and gender equality.

This year to date, there has been 13 domestic violence deaths in Queensland that has come to the public attention – this includes 8 women (all murdered by men) 4 men (two murdered by men) 1 child and 1 unborn (the perpetrator in this case was charged with both the death of the mother and unborn child).
We need to continue our work to highlight the devastating toll such deaths are taking on our community.
