International Women's Day celebrations in Bendigo
Thursday, 25 February 2010
ABOUT INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Celebrations are being planned across Victoria in the lead up to United Nations International Women's Day on 8 March. International Women's Day (IWD) is an annual event that recognises women, their lives and achievements from right around the world.
This year, the IWD theme is Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all. In Victoria the focus will be on women's leadership and representation and on celebrating the achievements and contribution of Victorian women in all aspects of their lives.
As part of IWD celebrations, 20 women from a myriad of backgrounds who have made significant contributions to their communities and the lives of other women will be inducted to the 2010 Victorian Honour Roll of Women.
An online calendar of community events to mark IWD can be accessed at http://www.women.vic.gov.au/. (IWD posters for use at local events can also be downloaded from the website.)
Bendigo region women will have the opportunity to develop leadership skills with the help of a $16,000 Brumby Labor government grant. For more information, click here
