International Womens Day 2025 | #MarchForward

Women in Business Mornington Peninsula is thrilled to be kicking off another year of celebrating, supporting and inspiring women with our fourth International Women's Day event.

This annual flagship event gathers our most influential and innovative community women for a few hours to hear visionary speakers, enjoy local food and drink, music, goodie bags, and a fundraising auction that showcases incredible local gifts with proceeds being shared between two local female-focused charities - Women's Spirit Project and Women's Community Shelters/Moonah House. 

Our location will be the beautiful Mr Velvet Ears; a beautiful boutique winery in Tuerong that was born from a love of wine, food, dogs, laughter and having a good time with great people...sounds perfect doesn't it?

And we’ve listened to your feedback and know you want a little more time to chat and connect, so our 2025 event has an extra half an hour of goodness to be had... arrive from 11.30am for a 12 noon start and 3pm finish (plenty of time to pick the little folk up from school if need be).

So clear your calendar and lock in your plans for our 2025 IWD event...set aside some precious time to think about what you and we can be doing to elevate those around us and #MarchForward to speed up the rate of gender parity progress worldwide.

International Women's Day 2025, we rally under the theme, "MarchForward."

At the current rate of progress, it will take 134 years, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity in 2158, according to data from the World Economic Forum. Focusing on the need to MarchForward emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

We understand that the journey toward gender parity requires collective activism. By dispelling stereotypes, denouncing discrimination, and fostering inclusivity, we drive change. It is not just the responsibility of women to champion this cause, but allies too, supporting progress on social, economic, cultural, and political fronts. This collective effort is our most crucial work.

Join us on this transformative journey. Businesses can contribute by supporting our event through donations to our silent auction, with proceeds dedicated to our two partner charities - Women's Spirit Project and Women's Community Shelters (Mornington Peninsula/Moonah House).

Take a couple of hours out of your day to be a catalyst for change. Secure your tickets for International Women's Day now, as we come together to #MarchForward and shape a brighter, more equitable future.
