Working Women's Centre Timor-Leste

An exciting new initiative is taking hold in Timor, with the launch of the country’s first ever Working Women’s Centre planned for September 1st, 2011.

Working Women's Centre Timor-Leste will further the momentum for women's rights in Timor.

Beginnings

Thanks to ideas blossoming out of an APHEDA study tour, WWCs in SA, NT & QLD, with counterparts from the union movement in Timor-Leste, have ensured the idea of a WWC-TL is now supported by a range of progressive organisations and government ministers in both countries.

To celebrate, WWC Australia's annual conference, Our Work Our Lives, will be held in Dili to coincide with the launch of its Timorese sister organisation. WWC-TL will be lead by local women keen to see the organisation play a central role in Timorese civil society, providing information, support, advice and advocacy services to women on work-related issues.
