100 Days. 100,000 People. One Formula That Ensures No Woman Walks Alone.
The Reality
Every Age. Every Stage. Every Single Woman Impacted.
Mean girl behaviour in daycare.
Twelve-year-olds self-harming.
Teen girls navigating abusive relationships.
Young women experiencing anxiety and burn out.
Family and Domestic Violence, in ALL of its forms, is a national crisis.
Single women over 55 facing homelessness.
Every woman knows this reality.
But what if this summer changes everything?
The Solution
We Have No Faith in Systems That Fail Us. We Have Complete Faith in the Power of Community.
Women of Oz is a registered charity founded by women with lived experience – all volunteers with a clear vision and complete blueprint to create monumental social and systemic change.
We believe women were born to sparkle, not be a statistic.
That's why we don't spout statistics. We will never reduce a woman to a number. What matters is this: every woman knows the reality. Every woman deserves complete safety.
“I was one of the fortunate ones. When I fled in fear for my life, I had somewhere to go. I have had human angels throughout my life. But hundreds of thousands of women across Australia don't. And they don't leave, because they have nowhere to go.”
Paige Lamoureux, Founder
And then she smiles, because she knows something systems don't:
Community has always been stronger than institutions. Love has always been more powerful than bureaucracy. And 100,000 people choosing each other creates the safety that systems promise but never deliver.
Let This Be The Summer That Changes It All
100 days. 100,000 people. The Power of 5.
Connection creates protection so no woman walks alone. Women were born to sparkle, not be a statistic. Be the #dobettergeneration.
Imagine this: Instead of walking into a police station or emergency room, The Emerald Lady welcomes her with beauty, love, and dignity. A safe place to call home. A place to find her sparkle again.
Whether she's just experienced sexual assault, is homeless, or escaping family violence, The Emerald Lady will provide everything a woman needs – safety, support, accommodation, healing, and hope.
The Vision
24/7 Access
Because danger doesn't work 9-5 and neither does our love
Trauma-Informed Care
Because healing requires understanding and compassion.
Security & Dignity
Because it's time we stop hiding women and start holding perpetrators accountable.
Long-Term Support
Because recovery takes time and we have all the time she needs.
Beauty & Dignity
Because every woman deserves to sparkle, not just survive.
This is what love looks like in action. This is what happens when women who've lived it design the solution. This is The Emerald Lady – and she will welcome every woman who needs her.
But she can only exist if we reach 100,000 Ruby Slipper Club members.
That's why the Summer 5 Drive is so critical.
The Emerald Lady is waiting to be built. She's waiting for us to make her real.
Let's ensure there truly is no place like home.
Ruby Slipper Club is our regular giving program.
We need 100,000 members by summer's end (28 February 2026) to execute our blueprint – to build The Emerald Lady and drive the monumental social and systemic change that ensures women and their children are safe.
Can you imagine the collective power of 100,000 people choosing to protect women and girls?
That's not a charity campaign. That's a movement. That's the #dobettergeneration stepping up.
The Power of 5: Simple Mathematics, Magnificent Change
Connection creates protection so no woman walks alone.
In just 8 waves, one person becomes 390,625 people.
We're asking for your circle of 5. Simple mathematics creating magnificent change.
Close Your Eyes and Imagine It
Picture 100,000 people standing together, hearts aligned, voices united. Imagine the ripple effect of that collective power – like a wave of light spreading across the country, touching every community, every street, every home.
Imagine not just a summer, but a reality where:
Every woman walks home without fear, keys in her purse, not her fist
Every girl grows up knowing she was born to sparkle, not to shrink
Every mother sleeps peacefully, knowing her daughters are safe
Every person – regardless of gender – chooses love over indifference, action over apathy, respect over misogyny, change over status quo
Imagine The Emerald Lady's doors opening wide, welcoming every woman who needs sanctuary. Imagine her walking in – scared, exhausted, broken – and walking out weeks later, sparkling again. Imagine that happening not once, not twice, but hundreds of times. Thousands of times.
That's the power of 100,000 people choosing each other.
