International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality. This year, the theme for IWD is #ChoosetoChallenge.

Zonta Wynnum Redlands is hosting our International Women’s Day Dinner this year at the Courthouse Restaurant, with Therese Thorpe, Secrets for Women as our guest speaker for the night.

Therese has an inspirational story to share of her journey to opening her own store in 2012, her motto is ‘if you are doing what you love, it is not a job”. 

We will also be presenting our Young Woman in Public Affairs Award.
