Inspire Inclusion: International Women's Day Event

Gender Equality Perth is thrilled to host three local speakers as well as the Makaton choir Jollity Express at this International Women's Day event, on the theme of #inspireinclusion. After a performance from the choir, each speaker will present for about 15 minutes followed by a Q&A and panel discussion.
