Impact

Collective action. Positive change.

Ideas and advocacy are stronger with collaboration.

That’s why Flequity Ventures invests in initiatives and partnerships that catalyse large-scale action to disrupt financial abuse and eliminate gender bias.

Our impact initiatives

We created the respect and protect public awareness campaign to encourage all businesses to make it clear they will not tolerate the misuse of their products to cause financial harm.

Evidence shows that one of the essential actions to prevent gendered violence is to challenge the condoning of violence against women. Changing business contracts by including financial abuse in the terms and conditions makes it explicit. Read the launch media release here.

“We can no longer stand on the sidelines of this issue – we all have a role and responsibility to help end domestic and family violence.”

“I urge every business to consider the impact you can have to eradicate violence against women. Let’s be inspired by the relentless dedication of advocates whose efforts continue to push this critical issue to the forefront of the public consciousness. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we have the power to effect real change.”

“Australia is facing a national crisis of violence against women. Everyone has a role to play and this action from businesses is essential if we are to end domestic, family and sexual violence in a generation. I encourage all businesses to understand the important role they have to respect and protect their customers.”

“Through our work we see too often the devastating effects of financial abuse in our community. The fight against family violence is everyone’s responsibility. The Financial Wellbeing Collective implores all businesses to not only actively consider how their organisation protects those vulnerable to financial abuse, but to take action. We stand with the Respect and Protect movement.”

Flequity has co-founded the One Generation business initiative, a program of Thriving Communities Australia, launched in November 2024.

This Australian business alliance against domestic and family violence brings together leading businesses from across modern essential services to take action for better and safer customer outcomes.

Flequity founder and director, Catherine Fitzpatrick, is the inaugural Chair of the One Generation Leaders Circle.
