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 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.
Please contact us if you have any access requirements.

Our highly anticipated International Women’s Day Breakfast event returns on Thursday 6 March, with tickets now available.
This year’s keynote speaker, Dr Emma Fulu, is a world-leading expert on gender equality and ending violence against women and girls. She has worked for the United Nations and other global programs.
Manningham Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante said International Women’s Day was an opportunity to celebrate, connect and reflect.
“I’m so pleased to welcome Dr Emma Fulu to Manningham to speak on such an important issue that demands attention and action both globally and locally,” Cr Diamante said.
“Championing gender equality and respect in every aspect of our lives is at the heart of driving change.
“We all have a role to play in turning promises into progress. I encourage men and women to join us for what will be an insightful and inspiring morning,” the Mayor added.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration of women’s achievements and raises awareness for women’s equality.
Dr Fulu will speak to this year’s UN Women Australia IWD theme, ‘March Forward: It’s time to turn promises into progress’.
The theme is in reference to the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995) – considered to be the most progressive blueprint for advancing women’s rights.
While women have broken many barriers since then, there’s still much to be done for millions of women around the world and it’s time to turn promises into progress.
Dr Fulu will be joined by a panel of guest speakers who will bring their lived experience and individual lens to this important discussion.
The event will be held on Thursday 6 March, 7.30am to 9.30am at the Manningham Function Centre. Tickets are $25 and include a plated breakfast.
For more information and to book your ticket, visit our events page.
