To commemorate International Women’s Day 2021, a series of in-person women’s conferences were held in Brisbane (13 March), Sydney (14 March), Adelaide (20), Canberra (27) and Wellington (27) and online in Melbourne (27) on the theme ‘Celebrating Womanhood’. They helped to inspire change, raise awareness and empower women to make positive changes in their lives, families and the wider community. The two-hour conferences highlighted women as being central to a happy family and how to cultivate the virtue of forgiveness, which positively influences mental and physical wellbeing.
The programmes included a drama, dance and panel discussion, by women of various ages and backgrounds sharing their life experiences on how they overcame barriers to be successful women.
