Rights. Justice. Action. For all women & girls.
International Women’s Day (IWD) was born from union, labour and social movements of the early twentieth century, when women organised for the vote, safe workplaces and economic justice. In a time of escalating attacks on international human rights, unions can use IWD to demand UN‑aligned actions that deliver measurable progress for women.
Women make up 75% of the education workforce, and more than 50,000 women are IEU members. IWD is an occasion to reflect on how the IEU, and the broader union movement, can mobilise members to influence governments, policy makers and employers.
Union members are encouraged to attend one of the inspirational IWD events in their area. See here for events in NSW.
