the health of women and girls is identified in the principle objectives and actions of ‘The National
Women’s Health Strategy 2020-2030’. Steps forward support the notion that investment into training
local Council workers has a ripple affect with our people being seen as ‘Ambassadors’ in sharing
learned knowledge through informal pathways. Contributing value towards the advancement of
human rights, sustainable development and peace as recognised by UNESCO. Collectively, now
more than ever we need to fast track initiatives to find practical ways to minimize impacts of COVID
recovery and natural disaster management now and into the future. Building resilience to improve
mental health and well-being of our people now living in our communities with the impacts of natural
disasters, climate change, rising cost of living, access to affordable housing, and job security is
essential.
