The Allan Labor Government is celebrating the achievements and contributions of women throughout Victoria's history.
Today the Minister for Women revealed the latest work completed as part of the Victorian Women's Public Art Program - a powerful new mural dedicated to Aunty Margaret Tucker MBE.
A survivor of the Stolen Generations, Aunty Marge was a trailblazing advocate for First Nations rights, health and women's wellbeing.
She was also instrumental in founding the Australian Aborigines' League, was the first woman appointed to the Victorian Aboriginal Welfare Board and created the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service.
BE. ONE CREATIVE founder produced the mural with an all-Indigenous creative team bringing it to life.
Backed by a $1.2 million investment, the Women's Public Art Program ensures the stories of diverse Victorian women are permanently recognised in public places across the state.
The series of permanent works are being delivered to tell a more accurate and inclusive story of Victoria.
Under a Labor Government, equality in all forms is not negotiable and it never will be.
