For international Women’s Day, Knox City Council will host two guest speakers: Author Lisa Ireland, and journalist and feminist Jane Gilmour at the Knox Civic Centre.

The free event will be held on Wednesday 8 March from 10am to 11am in Room 4 at the Civic Centre.

“The International Women’s Day (8 March 2023) theme for 2023 is #EmbraceEquity, highlighting that equity isn’t a nice to have, but a must have,” Knox City Council said.

“Everyone deserves equal pay, equal retirement savings, and to afford a place to live. But too many people are still unfairly limited in opportunities, due to gender.”
