International Women’s Day
Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:48): This week we celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March. The theme this year is ‘Accelerate action’, with an emphasis on the importance of taking positive, clear direction across the globe to achieve gender equality. I am proud to continue the legacy left by my mother and my grandmother to address the biases and barriers women face in their personal and professional lives. Purple is of course the official colour of International Women’s Day.
