Trinity College invites you to celebrate International Women's Day 2025 by joining the College community for breakfast. The event will celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness for women's economic empowerment, and take action for equity and equality.

Attendees will enjoy a light breakfast and insightful presentation from our wonderful guest speaker: Jenny Cole, Founder and CEO of Positively Beaming.

March Forward... Together
In her presentation Jenny will talk about how the subtle differences between how women and men act and how they are perceived is still a barrier to equality, in their careers, in sport and even in relationships. She will speak about these differences and need for boys, men AND other women to be allies rather than 'enemies' so we can all march forward, together.

#MarchForward

In 2025, the UN Women Australia IWD theme is ‘March Forward'.

Thirty years ago, the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality, the United Nations' Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Since then, we’ve seen women break barriers, reshape policies, and ignite global movements. Yet, despite these strides, the promises made remain largely unfulfilled for millions of women worldwide. We are simply not where we should be. It’s time to turn promises into progress, and #MarchForward for a gender equal future.

Our chosen charity for 2025 - Share the Dignity

This year, Trinity College is fundraising for Share the Dignity, an Australian charity working to ensure no one is forced to face the indignity of period poverty when at-risk of or experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or poverty. Funds raised from our event will help Share the Dignity distribute period products to women, girls, and anyone with a period who needs support.
