VMC | BREAKINGFAST | What gender equality looks like in our diverse world | Thursday 5 March 2020 | Arrive 7.30am for 8-10am

[Edited extract from public address]

Coming together and having bold conversations about gender equality this International Women’s Day Breakfast.

VMC Deputy Chair, Maria Dimopoulos, will facilitate a discussion with:

  • Nova Peris OAM - Olympian, Gold medallist Hockey & Track and Former Federal Senator
  • Tuanh Nguyen - Director of PwC Legal and Former President of the Asian-Australian Lawyers Association
  • Monica Forson - African Australian Youth Advocate and Community Engagement Adviser at Victoria Police

Also up for discussion is the UN Australia theme of ‘Generation Equality’, and how opportunities and connections between generations can be fostered to support Victorian girls and women to fulfil their full potential.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Djirra, an Aboriginal community organisation that provides culturally safe, holistic support and specialist family violence legal assistance and representation to Aboriginal women and their children in Victoria.

To raise further funds for Djirra, we also have an incredible selection of items to be auctioned by professional auctioneer James Ferris, of James Ferris Property.
