International Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on 8 March each year. It is a day to celebrate the gains women have made over the years and to bring our attention to the issues that still face us. Most of all, it's a day to recognise that we, as women, have made and continue to make a difference.

To celebrate International Women's Day, the Office for Women's Policy supports the annual NSW Woman of the Year Award, Premier's Reception, and UN Women Australia International Women's Day breakfast, and provides grants to local councils and shires.

On International Women's Day activities and celebrations occur around the state.
