Wyndham City is gearing up to recognise International Women’s Day (8 March) with a series of events and activities aimed at celebrating the girls and women in our community.
International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women and also serves as a call to action for accelerating gender equality.
It is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.
Wyndham City’s activities and events purposefully reflect the United Nations Australia theme #BalanceTheScales.
Events include:
- I’m with Her: A thrilling real-life demonstration of the power of women to outlast, outwit, and out-muscle the great ugly beast of sexism.
- International Women’s Day: Women in Business celebration: Set within the breathtaking surrounds of The Refectory at Werribee Park, Wyndham City invites the community to an inspiring morning dedicated to honouring women in business and advancing the global conversation on gender equity.
- Their Stories, Our Community - A celebration of the incredible women making Wyndham thrive. Hear stories from local champions creating change in our community.
- Celebrate International Women’s Day with special guest speaker Claire Hooper, stand-up comedian, writer and presenter.
