Come and celebrate the extraordinary women who live with disability and advocate for gender and disability equality.

This year we are partnering with Women's Health East to bring you Grit - a celebration of women. 

Women's Health East developed the Margins to Mainstream program late in 2020, and since then have been working to empower women with disability. 

Join us to hear from women who have found their voice and learn about what they need to be a part of the community.  

This event contains discussion of family violence that may lead to a risk of emotional harm. This content has been included to educate on the impacts of family violence. 
If you or someone you know are experiencing family violence, please call 1800RESPECT or visit respectvictoria.vic.gov.au. For emergencies call 000.

This event is part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and International Day of People with Disability

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence is a global campaign to challenge violence against women and girls. The campaign runs every year from 25 November on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to 10 December Human Rights Day.

International Day of People with Disability is on 3 December and is a United Nations (UN) day observed internationally. It aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
