Welcome to WAAT

The Women’s Action Alliance Tasmania (WAAT) is a women’s liberation group committed to the protection and advancement of women and girls on the understanding that sex is a biological fact with material consequences for females living under patriarchy.

Although we still deal with any and all impediments to women’s liberation into full humanity, our current focus is on gender identity ideology and in particular its impacts on women and children. We believe that women must not be legally, socially, and politically erased as a class of people for whom biology is a major factor in our subjection and subjugation under patriarchy. If this is to happen, then it will become impossible for us to organise as a group with a shared experience of oppression — and we need to organise if we are to fight against the other forms of men’s violence against women as expressed in prostitution, sex trafficking, family and domestic violence, pornography, rape, rape culture, the criminal justice system, reproductive exploitation, the medical system, the media, and more.

We are proud to be a member of the Affiliation of Australian Women’s Action Alliances (AAWAA), which is made up of the Women’s Action Alliance Canberra (WAAC), the Women’s Action Alliance Tasmania, the Queensland Women’s Action Alliance (QWAA), the South Australian Women’s Action Alliance (SAWAA), the Western Australian Women’s Action Alliance (WAWAA), and the Women’s Action Alliance Victoria (WAAV).
