Celebrating International Women’s Day
We are celebrating women in our community this week while recognising International Women’s Day on Friday 8 March.
With well over a century of history and change, the first International Women’s Day (IWD) was held in March 1911.
IWD isn’t country, group or organisation-specific. It’s a day of collective global activism and celebration that belongs to all those committed to forging women’s equality.
This year’s them is ‘Inspire Inclusion’.
On an individual basis, IWD gives us the opportunity to consider how we value and seek out the inclusion of women and girls. Additionally, we can share insights as well as support and encourage others to re-think the way they react to and treat others.
