Weathering Tough Times: Toolkit for Rural Women

Partner: WIRE – Women’s Information

The devastating drought of the past several years has seriously affected rural Victorian women. Many of these women have made great personal sacrifices because of the drought. The Queen Victoria Women's Centre (QVWC) and WIRE – Women’s Information have created the Weathering Tough Times toolkit to direct drought-affected women to services that can help them during this difficult time.

Weathering Tough Times encourages women to contact services to seek help with their issues. The toolkit provides contact details for phone counselling helplines health services, legal, financial and government services. The toolkit also gives contacts for men’s support services.
