Women bear the brunt of problems ranging from poverty to climate change, but they also possess assets and talents to solve them.
UN Women Australia will be celebrating IWD with the global theme, “Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world.” At the IWD events you will hear incredible stories from women who inspire, lead and are committed to making a difference every day.

Can’t wait for this year’s event @JanelleWeissman @UNWomenAust along with our special guests from @champs_change and @givinglarge thanks to the generosity of @pwheelton - see you then!
Wrapping up our last collective @UNWomenAust #IWD2021 planning session, preparing for the big day on 5 March. We are ready. Thank you Committee Chairs & Members, all fab volunteers and staff. #WomenLead starts here. You don’t want to miss it. https://unwomen.org.au/get-involved/international-womens-day/
We have a big problem when men can only show empathy for women they see as daughters, sisters and wives. This very contingent concern dehumanises women and underpins male violence against women.
Thanks @ProBonoAust for this initiative celebrating NFP leadership, influence and impact. We’re thrilled that our CEO, Julie Reilly, is on the list of nominees. Voting closes today - please take a moment to review the list - you get three votes!
