Our International Women’s Day Breakfast is presented in partnership with the Sydney Women’s Fund by Sydney Community Foundation
Join The Women’s Club for a special International Women’s Day celebration. We are thrilled to host Ambassador for Gender Equality, Stephanie Copus Campbell AM, as our keynote speaker.
Discover groundbreaking insights with the unveiling of the Portrait V Research by the Sydney Women’s Fund. Under the leadership of renowned researchers Dr Rebecca Huntley and Kate Whelan, this study provides a vital look into the challenges faced by women in Sydney.
Our event is more than a gathering; it’s a platform for change. Following the keynote and research presentation, engage in meaningful discussions to identify and address the key barriers to gender equity in our city.
This is an opportunity to connect with other motivated individuals, exchange ideas, and collectively challenge gender bias and inequality. We encourage an intergenerational dialogue, so please bring along your network – friends, colleagues, and family members of all generations – to partake in this important conversation.
