International Women’s Day

More then 400 people attended the Equal Futures International Women’s Day Event on Saturday 5 March at the Women’s Museum of Australia.

There were great speakers and performers including Kirra Voller, Katie Harder and the Splinter Sisters, information and market stalls and a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by Kumalie Riley. A demonstration by the Arrernte Community Boxing Academy Kungka’s Klass was a highlight.

MHACA was a member of the organising committee and held a mental health promotion stall at the event. The event was live broadcast on 8CCC Community Radio.
