Free2b Girls Tasmania Village Project
Providing safe spaces for girls and young women in remote and outer regional Tasmanian.

‘We know that programs like this, that connect young women not only to each other, but also to older women in their community, can create a safer environment for them. It's so important we have a nurturing, connected and confident community for future generations.’
Growing a Village for Girls Across Tasmania.
Through the Free2b Girls Tasmanian Village Project, we are working towards establishing 20 Free2b Girls Groups across rural and regional Tasmania. By partnering with local communities, organisations and supporters, the project aims to expand access to safe, welcoming spaces where girls can connect, build confidence and explore their interests close to home.
Each group is community-led and grounded in the values of freedom, creativity, safety and respect. As the network grows, more girls in remote and outer-regional communities will have the opportunity to feel supported, valued and connected.
Continued community partnerships and funding support will play an important role in helping Free2b expand to new locations and ensure that more girls across Tasmania can access these important spaces.
