International Women's Day
The University acknowledges International Women's Day, which is held on 8 March each year.
International Women's Day is a world-wide celebration of women's social, economic, cultural and political achievements. It provides a focus to the continuing need for achieving gender equality.
There will be an #EachforEqual poster display at each campus during the week commencing Monday 9 March 2020. The poster display locations are:
- Coffs Harbour campus: in the Library
- Gold Coast campus: in the Marquee at the back of Building A
- Lismore campus: in Goodman Plaza
International Women's Day 2020 theme is #EachforEqual
An equal world is an enabled world.
Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.
We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements.
Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world.
Let's all be #EachforEqual.
