"Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress” #CountHerIN
Women’s economic empowerment is central to a gender equal world. When women are given equal opportunities to earn, learn and lead – entire communities thrive.
Based on the priority theme for the United Nations 68th Commission on the Status of Women, Count Her In will examine the pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere.
While important progress has been made, women face significant obstacles to achieving equal participation in the economy.
Without equal access to education, employment pathways, financial services and literacy, how can we ever hope to reach gender equality?
We must ensure women and girls are given equal opportunity to build their capabilities and strengthen their capacity to learn, earn and lead.
Join us in all states (excl. Northern Territory) as we celebrate International Women's Day on Thursday 7 March. We will celebrate on Friday 8th March in the Northern Territory.
Each capital city will host an in-person event where you can hear from amazing women who will have meaningful discussion on the International Women's Day Theme: #CountHerIn
