My Ruby Road

The things she was taught to be ashamed of are her power. My Ruby Road helps a girl, or a woman, unwrap that.

Her voice, her body, her feelings and the people she loves are the gifts she was born with, never something to apologise for.

The Road

Every Step Of It

It Begins With Them

The Atelier gets to know each person first, in a conversation and never a form.

Years 7 to 12

In Schools

Where It Runs

In Schools

Years 7 to 12, one term a year, building layer by layer. Taught by the school's own staff, and running beside My Emerald Road in coed schools.

In Women's Prisons

A road for her: to step into her power as a woman and rebuild her life. Walked with a facilitator, at her own depth, with a certificate if she would like one.

My Ruby Road is one of the ways Women Of OZ builds a world where women are honoured.
