NSW Women's Week
More than 20 organisations across NSW have received a share of $100,000 in funding from the NSW Government to stage a range of events for women of all ages, backgrounds and interests.
Events during NSW Women’s Week include a bioengineering student challenge at the University of Sydney, a women’s art and music festival in Lismore, a business networking event in Braidwood and free sports clinics for 2,000 girls.
Now in its second year, NSW Women’s Week coincides with the NSW Women of the Year Awards on Thursday, 5 March and International Women’s Day on Sunday, 8 March.
Established under the NSW Women’s Strategy 2018-2022, the week promotes:
- economic opportunity and advancement
- health and wellbeing
- participation and empowerment
