Back Her Brilliance: First Nation Sisters

Global Sisters exists to “Back Her Brilliance” and make business possible for all Australian women. We support women who are unemployed or under-employed to become financially independent through business. Read more on our target group and the needs we are addressing: https://globalsisters.org/inabox/who-we-support/

We have worked with Aboriginal women across Australia since inception in 2016, and our impact to date is documented in the paper, First Nation Sisters on our Social Impact platform: https://impact.globalsisters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GS201104-First-Nation-Sisters-Paper.pdf

In this project, Global Sisters will build on that previous work, to develop an Aboriginal led strategy and implement a model designed with and specifically for Aboriginal Sisters. We will hire a national role, an Aboriginal “RCM” (our key Sister facing role) who will develop the strategy and adapt our model to meet the needs of Aboriginal Sisters in different contexts around Australia.

They will:
1.Identify the locations for Aboriginal women focused Hubs in existing and new locations
2.Support the establishment of Aboriginal focused Hubs, using our Global Sisters – In A Box model
3.Support Aboriginal Sisters to sell via the Global Sisters Marketplace
4.Develop a scale and export strategy for Aboriginal Sisters, and support in their capacity building to be scale and export ready, including brokering partnerships with businesses eg. https://impact.globalsisters.org/goanna-hut-t2-tea/

I want to see more women in the position to make decisions, control resources, and shape policies and perspectives. I believe that women’s potential is worth investing in—and the people and organizations working to improve women’s lives are, too.
