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.
2023 NSW Women's Week will run from 6 to 12 March and coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March, and the NSW Women of the Year Awards on 9 March.
