Sydney: International Women's Day 2013 : 9 March


Bring your friends and family and come to the march!
9 March 2013
The march will start at noon outside 
Town Hall and proceed to Circular Quay.  
But there will be speakers
Including special guest Tara Moss!



ACTU President Ged Kearney - Today is International Women’s Day.

As unionists, we recognise that our movement is stronger for the ongoing activism of our sisters.

Women, working collectively, have won many battles like equal pay and paid parental leave. But they also run strong industrial campaigns, taking on tough employers and never backing down.

We celebrate today, but every day women and men are still fighting for real equality in the workplace and especially the right to fit caring responsibilities along-side our work, without sacrificing the security of a permanent job and income.

We are at our best as a movement when we stand united, and work together, for a better workplace and society for all.
