At the Department for Women and Gender Equality, being the lead on gender-based analysis in addition to our work supporting communities, particularly women and gender-diverse people, we build intersectionality into all of the work that we do. We pay particular attention in the calls for proposals that we do and in the proposals that we review, to ensure that we cover off specific communities.
I will perhaps give an example around women with disabilities. In 2024-25, we launched an investment call for equality for senior women and women and girls with disabilities, because we know that those communities are particularly affected. About $2.2 million was invested in projects that would serve women and girls with disabilities primarily as a beginning.
We look through our data and evidence, and we can see through intersectional data that we have key gaps in certain areas. That is, then, how we determine the way ahead.
