International Women's Day is celebrated annually on March 8 and has been ever since the first IWD gathering in 1911. It is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of Women, the day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
Local ladies have put together three weeks of events to celebrate the lives and contributions made by women on the Central Coast. Everyday women are working to make the Coast a better place to live and the festival is an opportunity to recognise this work.
The Central Coast's Festival of Women includes breakfasts, workshops, forums, exhibitions and more, free and ticketed events. Join the movement this March, because an equal world is an enabled world.
Join us in celebrating these ladies at an event near you! Full list of events and details are below...
