Women's Day: Empower a woman, empower a nation

Working hard to ensure women and girls have the same opportunity as boys and men is a journey that many women advocates share.

And this year's International Women's Day, the UN Women National Committee Australia is leading the country through grassroot events to empower women.

 

UN Women Australia Executive Director Janelle Weissman shares how we can unlock opportunities for women to be leaders and ensuring women have pathways for stable and decent jobs where they can lead, learn and earn.
