Join us for a very special International Women's Day event as we join the international movement and conversation about gender equality and a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination for female farmers.
We will take a deep dive into diversity through the lived experience of 4 amazing female farmers, enriched with the published expertise of Dr Lucie Newsome and woven by our fellow change-maker and cherished storyteller Maree Lowes.
This years IWD2022 campaign theme is #BreakTheBias
We will be exploring through conversation and interactive activities how we can imagine a gender-equal world for our female farmers and follow the core discussion points of this years IWD events :
A world that is free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.
A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
A world where difference is valued and celebrated.
