About Juno

Juno works with women and gender diverse people and their children in Melbourne’s northern suburbs who are experiencing homelessness, family violence, or economic insecurity.

We are an independent, feminist organisation with a commitment to social change. Our work is led by frameworks of feminist, intersectional, and politicised trauma informed practice. Our approach to support is non-judgemental, evidence-based, and person-centred.

We recognise the many ways women and gender diverse people can be marginalised and the cumulative effects that multiple forms of discrimination can have. We speak out and amplify the voices of our participants to increase awareness of the challenges they face, the support required and to advocate for change to the systems and structures that hold them back.
