This paper recommends Cabinet agree to fund Vote Women $2 million to re-establish the COVID-19 Community Fund to
address the immediate impacts of further lockdowns on vulnerable groups of women.
Women who we consider vulnerable are those belonging, or perceived to belong, to groups that are in a disadvantaged position or marginalised. The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) identified specific vulnerable groups of women that require further research and consideration in Government policies across the world as being: 1) women with disabilities; 2)
ethnic minority women; 3) lesbian and bisexual women, and transgender people; 4) women in detention and in prison; 5) women from rural and remote areas; 6) women
engaged in prostitution; 7) women who are victims of family and sexual violence; and 8) women victims of trafficking. (paragraph 12).
