The Early Morning Centre is hosting a morning tea for guests and supporters for International Women’s Day on Thursday, 11 March.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world each year on 8 March however, as the Canberra Day public holiday falls on the same day, we will be celebrating on 11 March.
As a focal point in the movement for women’s rights, IWD highlights the struggle for equality for women everywhere. The annual awareness day celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people.
This year’s theme is Choose to Challenge.
