Teeyan Da Mela

Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:58): I would also like to bring to light some of the beautiful celebrations of women that have been taking place in my local community. Every year many multicultural communities host a variety of Teeyan or Teej events in and around the electorate. The focus of these festivals is to celebrate women and girls and the attributes that they bring. Earlier this month I was warmly invited to Teeyan Da Mela by the Multicultural Festival Group. The festival was full of infectious cheer, bright colours and magnificent performance, with about 600 women and girls in attendance. I look forward to attending many more of these Teej celebrations as the year progresses, and I congratulate them all.
