Harmony Alliance: Migrant and Refugee Women for Change

Harmony Alliance is the national Migrant and Refugee Women's Alliance, one of six National Women's Alliances funded by the Australian Government to promote the views of all Australian women to ensure their voices are heard in decision making processes. We have three key goals: -Provide a platform for a diversity of migrant and refugee women and relevant practitioners to coordinate engagement and strategic direction; -Enable an effective voice for migrant and refugee women in domestic and international policy; -Advance migrant and refugee women’s participation in economic, social, cultural, civil and political life. To achieve those goals, Harmony Alliance has adopted an inclusive membership model which is its key strength. Members are drawn from three groups bringing their unique perspectives to provide a holistic approach to our work: -National, state-wide and local organisations representing migrant and refugee women in Australia; -National, state-wide and local organisations working for the advancement and inclusion of migrant and refugee women in Australia; and -Individuals identifying as women from migrant or refugee backgrounds who want to boost the rights and voices of migrant and refugee women in Australia.
