International Women’s Day (IWD) is all about celebrating the achievements and accomplishments of all the amazing women around us. Signifying how far we have come as a society.
The day first made its way to Australia as the Militant Women’s Movement called for equal pay for equal work. In 1931, annual marches began in Sydney and Melbourne and continue to be held today!
The campaign theme for IWD 2024, set by the United Nations Australia, is Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.
While commendable strides have been taken, women encounter substantial challenges in attaining equal engagement in the economy. Without fair access to education, employment opportunities, financial services, and literacy, achieving gender equality remains a distant goal. It is imperative that we guarantee women and girls equal opportunities to enhance their abilities and empower them to learn, earn, and lead.

I think its important to celebrate International Women’s Day as it is a day that allows us to come together to celebrate the achievements of the amazing women in our lives both inside and outside of the workplace. I think this day also acts as a reminder of the challenges that women around the world continue to face each day, which is why it remains such a significant date for all.
