International Women's Day : Young Farmers Connect webinar [new date TBC]

Please note : 

Due to the extreme nature and scale of the current flood disaster throughout QLD and NSW we have postponed this event - with a new date to be confirmed.

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the devastation and loss that so many of our amazing farmers will be enduring at this time.

Join us for a very special International Women's Day event as we join the international movement and conversation about gender equality and a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination for female farmers.

We will take a deep dive into diversity through the lived experience of 4 amazing female farmers : Tanya Massy, Thanisa Adams, Oliva Awaritefe and Kate McBride; enriched with the published expertise of Dr Lucie Newsome and woven by our fellow change-maker and cherished storyteller Maree Lowes.

This years IWD2022 campaign theme is #BreakTheBias

We will be exploring through conversation and interactive activities how we can imagine a gender-equal world for our female farmers and follow the core discussion points of this years IWD events :

• A world that is free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. 
• A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. 
• A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

This event fits perfectly with Young Farmers Connect's celebrated inaugural publication "Together We Grow" and we are thrilled to have shared a story from each of our speakers on these pages.  The webinar is an opportunity to continue with our vision to elevate and celebrate the role of women in the sector and our effort to profile the amazing work of our female farmers and inspire the next generation.
