Come and join all our ACEL community throughout Australia and beyond for a celebration of diversity, empowerment and equality.
This year’s International Women’s Day 2022 (IWD 2022) theme is #BreakTheBias, one which resonates deeply with many across the globe. The theme underpins our carefully curated program which will inspire participants to reflect individually and collectively on the role all genders play in breaking the bias in our learning organisations and social contexts. Together, we can make a difference.
We are in a critical moment for women across the globe. Gender representation in leadership across our society is changing, but slowly.
“Gender equality transforms economies and is a human right. In the shadow of the impact of the pandemic, active and sustained leadership on gender equality is more important than ever.”
Senator the Hon Marise Payne, Minister for Women
We have moments to celebrate
World leadership is turning with greater diversity and inclusion at the decision-making table.
We’ve had ground-breaking moments that keep our optimism alive about the future. Madeline Hislop brings us this reflection in celebrating the stories that defined 2021.
2022 starts with eight countries having elected or sworn in their first female head of government or state in the past 12 months.
So come and join us, learn from each other, celebrate your impact and influence…and, be inspired.
