The International Women’s Day 2019 global theme is ‘balance for better’. Campaigning for a gender-balanced world is at the essence of IWD and now more than ever, we live in a world where injustices are called out and inclusivity and equality, is championed. And that is certainly something to celebrate.
We’re championing the women in our communities right across the country that are campaigning for change, be it though their work, their side hustle or their unwavering support of other women, everywhere.
From playwrights to politicians, activists to actors, these inspiring Australian women represent the depth and breadth of talent and progress right across the county.
