NSW Women's Week
NSW Women’s Week is a chance for women and girls across the state to come together to support one another, share information and celebrate women’s achievements.
NSW Women’s Week is also a time to bring our communities together to work towards gender equality. We all have a part to play in championing gender equality and making NSW a great place to live, work and succeed.
2021 NSW Women's Week will run from 8 to 14 March and coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March, and the NSW Women of the Year Awards on 10 March.
Follow Women NSW on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, and subscribe to our mailing list to stay across news and announcements.
