In 2025, the theme for International Women's Day is Accelerate Action.

Accelerate Action is a worldwide call to acknowledge strategies, resources, and activity that positively impact women's advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation.

Hosted by Reconciliation South Australia, we are asking the question - how can you accelerate action when you always platform the same voices?

Join us on the 6th of March at 6:00pm for an important online conversation where nothing is off the table. This International Women's Day we want you to critically think about who you are listening to, and who is missing, and why intersectionality is integral to gender equality.

A recording will be available for ticket holders after the live event.

We are excited to be joined by -
