The Victorian Labor Women’s Network

The VLWN provides a forum and stages events to increase the number of women active in the Labor Party. This facilitates and strengthens relationships between state Labor women organisations and the National Labor Women’s Network, as well as supporting the development of skills that assist women to participate in the ALP at all levels.
