IWD and
Women’s Leadership

Objective

To laugh, learn, celebrate, and liberate together on International Women’s Day (IWD), advocating for change to achieve D&I and increase intersectional representation.

Why the need

International Women’s Day, marked annually on March 8th, is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. IWD is an important day to celebrate ordinary women’s achievements, raise awareness about women’s equality, advocate for accelerated gender parity, and fundraise for female-focused charities.

What we did

ALO has been successfully celebrating International Women’s Day with CALD women since 2019. Our targeted areas are mental health (2019), domestic violence (2020), women in leadership (2021), and gender equality sustainability (2022).

The IWD event has been a fantastic way to celebrate women’s achievements and showcase CALD women’s culture, achievements, and friendships. ALO continues to acknowledge and celebrate CALD women’s contribution to society through transformational and inspirational story sharing, intersectionality, and harmony by promoting diversity and inclusion.
