2021 International Women’s Day

Gender parity won’t happen overnight, but the good news is that women and organisations worldwide are making positive gains, day by day. There’s a growing global movement of awareness, support, activism and advocacy. But we can’t be complacent. Now more than ever, there’s a strong push for action to progress gender parity.

Together, let’s #ChooseToChallenge and be resolute in accelerating gender parity.

On March 5th, CFA Societies Australia proudly hosted a live presentation with guest speaker, the Hon Julie Bishop to celebrate success and raise awareness of various issues affecting women locally and globally such as education, health and job opportunities.

The presentation by the Hon Julie Bishop was in person in Sydney and broadcasted live to Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and virtually across the world.
