International Women's Day 2025 - NSW
In-person 6 Mar, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM (AEDT)
Join us for an event in the RACGP NSW office to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025.
‘March Forward’ this International Women’s Day 2025 as we celebrate 30 years since the United Nation’s Beijing Declaration, a bold vision for gender equality.
Women have broken barriers, reshaped policies, and ignited powerful movements, yet systemic inequalities, rising violence, and economic disparities still prevent millions of women from reaching their full potential. Progress isn’t just about reflection, it’s about taking bold decisive steps to create a truly equal future for all women and girls.
Come and hear from our guest speaker Dr Amanda Cohn MLC as she shares her inspiring journey from the healthcare profession to state politics. Following the presentation, connect with your peers at a cocktail function.
Venue: North Sydney office, Level 12, 1 Pacific Highway, North Sydney
