International Woman’s Day is coming up on March 8. We thought we’d highlight the three main events you can attend to commemorate and celebrate women that have fought for equality.
Events coming up in Perth include:
International Women’s Day Breakfast
UN Women Australia are inviting you to celebrate the role that women play in our communities. The Women’s Day Breakfast will be raising funds towards ending violence against women; the non-for-profit organisation is working towards gender equality and the empowerment of women. Starting at 7am on March 7 at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, this is an event not to be missed.
International Women’s Day Luncheon
On March 8 at Hillarys Yacht Club, the event offers a two course lunch, entertainment, guest speakers, door prizes and raffles. Kick starting at 11.30, the breakfast will be raising funds for The Smith Family and the Learning for Life Program.
International Women’s Day High Tea
Raising money for the Funds for Freedom Project, join the Women’s Council for Domestic and Family Services Inc to work towards a life free of domestic violence for children and women. The fundraiser will be held at the Duxton Hotel on March 8 from 2.30pm.

Interesting fact: Did you know that in countries such as China, Russia, Vietnam and Bulgaria, International Women’s Day is a public holiday?
