Pathways to Equality
Pathways to Equality aims to promote gender equity, diversity and inclusion within our community.
In bright yet calming colours that convey a sense of kindness, respect and inclusivity, Lynn Bremner’s design celebrates a wide range of ethnicities, ages, sexualities and genders by centring on characters of diverse identities, backgrounds and abilities.
Woven throughout these scenes of people and families engaging in activities that challenge traditional gender stereotypes, are images of various Australian flora and fauna that brings a sense of joy and happiness to the overall design. The iconography includes the kookaburra, magpie, cockatoo, gum leaves, gumnuts and billy buttons.

Gender equity
Gender equity is the process of being fair to people of all genders. Gender equity recognises that within all communities, people of different genders have different benefits and varying access to power, resources and responsibilities.
Gender equity leads to gender equality, where there are equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for people of all genders. This means that gender equity is not about treating everyone the same but recognises people’s different experiences, needs and power related to their gender, and works to address these differences to rectify gender-related imbalances.
