Women in Campbelltown will be able to enjoy a host of free community events as part of International Women’s Day celebrations from Monday 7 March to Sunday 13 March.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #BreakTheBias and encourages people to work collectively for a gender-equal world.
There are a range of events for women to get involved in throughout the week including workshops, yoga sessions and more.
“International Women’s Day is a time for us to celebrate those women in our city who make a difference, not only in our community but also in our everyday lives,” Mayor George Greiss said.
“Throughout Campbelltown’s history, we have had many great women contribute to building up our city into the place it is today. This is an opportunity for us to celebrate and remember those contributions while also acknowledging the women who are continuing that legacy today,” Cr Greiss said.
