International Women’s Day
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:40): Last sitting week I was pleased to host a visit to Parliament of students from local schools in my electorate in celebration of International Women’s Day. The IWD visit was a wonderful opportunity to show these young girls that they can dream big and aspire to leadership in whatever roles they choose in the future. They got to talk with the Premier Jacinta Allan and the Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins about the importance of girls and women supporting one another in very practical ways. A noteworthy discussion point was about the impact of male role models and how they can create a respectful environment for girls and women. I want to thank the students from Mill Park Secondary College, The Lakes South Morang College and Lalor North Secondary College who attended the event. Their teachers were also awesome in encouraging their participation.
