You're invited to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD) at a free Surf Coast Shire Council event with author and award-winning journalist Jane Gilmore.

Wednesday 5 March
10.30am to 12.30pm (includes question time and a shared lunch)
Council Chambers: 1 Merrijig Drive, Torquay

Jane will share her important work towards gender equality, headlined by her decade-long FixedIt campaign which continues to change how media reports on men’s violence against women. 

The TEDx Talk speaker and author – who has published Fixed It as well as Teaching Consent and Fairy Tale Princesses Will Kill Your Children – will also highlight how the community can take small steps together to advance gender equality.

Jane’s grassroots activism message aligns with this year’s International Women’s Day theme: accelerate action.
