For others, years of coercive control, financial abuse, and the long-term effects of domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) have stripped away their confidence and eroded their skills.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At the current rate of progress, full gender equality won\u2019t be achieved until 2158\u2014five generations from now. This is unacceptable. If we are serious about change, we must <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Accelerate Action<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> where it matters most: ensuring women have access to education, skills, and financial independence so they are never forced to return to violence due to poverty or homelessness.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For nearly nine years, Zahra Foundation Australia has been delivering <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Adult Community Education programs<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> to support women recovering from DFSV. Last year alone, more than <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">150 South Australian women<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> participated, gaining the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to pursue further education, employment, or entrepreneurship.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This is why <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">adult education must be recognised as a critical pillar in recovery<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">. Education is more than literacy and numeracy\u2014it is a pathway to autonomy, stability, and self-sufficiency. <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Pathways to Empowerment program<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">, funded by the South Australian Government under Adult Community Education, is a pioneering initiative for women impacted by DFSV. It helps them <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">rebuild their lives<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\"> by strengthening foundational skills, unlocking new opportunities, and providing formal recognition of their capabilities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Women in this program are not just learning\u2014they are reclaiming their <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">right to financial security and independence<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">. Many describe it as a turning point, where they no longer feel trapped in a cycle of violence or control. With education, they no longer must choose between <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">abuse and poverty<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2014they gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to shape their futures.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">The impact is life changing.
