Reason for this Petition

We, the undersigned residents of the Australian Capital Territory, respectfully bring to the Assembly's attention the urgent need for funding for the ACT-registered charity, Fearless Women. Without this support, Fearless Women will be forced to cease operations, a loss that would deeply impact our community.

Fearless Women's Empowerment Program offers essential mentoring, counselling, and educational services to girls and young women in the ACT, helping them navigate the challenges of everyday life. Through their engagement with Fearless Women, these girls develop the confidence, courage, resilience, and hope necessary to become healthy, socially and productively engaged women.

Requested Actions

We, therefore, request the Assembly provide the necessary funding to Fearless Women as outlined in their submission to the ACT 2025-26 Budget process.
