Jenna's mural will be unveiled at Wurdi Baierr Stadium in Torquay at the free celebration event - to be held Wednesday 8 March from 10am to 11am. The event will feature a Welcome to Country, Q&A and morning tea as we celebrate this year's IWD theme: Embrace Equity.

2022 celebration

To celebrate the 2022 International Women's Day theme #BreakTheBias, we created a short film that shares stories of local women who have overcome challenge and bias.

The film was shown at local community house-run IWD events in Anglesea, Torquay and Winchelsea, as well as a Lorne Country Club event. (Film by Roseneath Creative)
