International Women's Day is on 8 March every year. It is an occasion to recognise the achievement and triumphs of women the world over.
The Queensland Government's theme for International Women's Day 2008 is 'Queensland Women - Shaping the Future'.
The Herstories: Inspiring Women event will held in the Balmoral Room, City Hall, Brisbane on March 6, 2008 with two high achieving women sharing their stories of success and inspiration with employees and senior phase students.
Herstories: Inspiring Women is an International Women's Day celebratory event where women are recognised for their achievements. The event provides an opportunity for staff to network and demonstrates the department's ongoing commitment to workforce diversity and equity.
This year's event will feature speeches by Sana Mammo (Local Hero 2006 - Metropolitan and awarded the Pride of Australia (QLD) 2006 - Peace) and Carole Caswell (Local Hero 2007 - Regional).
