WITT — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:13:55 +0000

The Cascade Female Factory World Heritage Site is right on Hobart’s doorstep.

WITT member’s enjoyed a lovely evening and the Female Factory Facebook page reported:

The Cascades Female Factory demonstrates how transportation was used to expand Britain’s spheres of influence, as well as to punish and reform female convicts.

On 6 March, 25 WITT members enjoyed a visit to the site and learn what was happening on site.

Members took the opportunity to participate in 3 activities – an overview of what is going on and planned at the site. This was hosted by Julie Henderson who is employed by the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority as Site Manager of the Cascades Female Factory Historic Site.

The Female Factory’s Matron provided a short snippet of her life and times from her cottage.

Judith and Chris Cornish enthralled members with a small piece from ‘Her Story’, a depiction of the harsh life experienced within Yard One of the Cascades Female Factory in 1833.

Visit the Cascade Female Factory Facebook page for photos of the evening.

Tasmanian Women’s Plan 2012-17

Call for survey participants and written submissions

Women and girls play many important roles in the Tasmanian community. The Tasmanian Women’s Plan 2012-17 will provide a guiding framework to help ensure that Government actions are responsive to the needs of women and girls and are representative of their views.

To help inform the Plan, the Community Development Division in the Department of Premier and Cabinet is undertaking a survey of Tasmanian women and girls. The survey covers a number of areas including economic security, financial independence, education and training, health and wellbeing, housing, leadership, safety and justice.

In addition to the survey, you are invited to submit further comments by filling in a written submission.

Your responses will help us identify what Tasmanian women and girls see as the most important issues and where the Government may need to expand its efforts. You will help shape the Government’s response to issues for Tasmanian women and girls for the next five years and into the future.

Both the survey and written submission are anonymous. You can choose to go into a draw for your choice of a $50 Coles Myer or iTunes voucher by providing your email address. This will not be linked to your survey or submission response.

To take the survey – click on the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/taswomensplan

A copy of the written submission template is attached to this email.

Both the survey and the written submission template can also be accessed on the Community Development Division website at the following address:
