Check out these must-do events where you can celebrate womanhood in all its multi-faceted glory
International Women's Day takes place this year on Friday, March 8, and the 2024 theme is Inspire Inclusion – it's all about celebrating women's achievements, raising awareness about discrimination, and taking action to drive gender parity, as we move towards a gender-equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination.
The annual day of solidarity and activism has become a rallying point for people around the world to unite, celebrate and brainstorm solutions to the ever-mutating challenges we face.
Feminism takes many forms, and each female-identifying person should feel like they can celebrate IWD in a way that truly explores their experience. To that end, we’ve selected a range of different ways to experience International Women's Day in Sydney this year.
Head to the courthouse of the Treehouse between 10am and 4pm on Friday March 8, and get a hair cut for a cause from the good people behind The Feel Good Project. The mobile hair salon from The Feel Good Project (run by the owners of popular Esstudio Galleria in Chippendale) will be donating one hair cut to a woman in need for every paid appointment on the day.
Raise a glass to your new look with a special spritz from the Treehouse's IWD drinks menu, with a portion of proceeds from every sprtz sold between March 4 and March 9 going to Feel Good Project.
Book your appointment over here.
Every day is IWD at this intimate, women-led wine bar and bottle shop in Newtown. Settle in for some excellent snacks and wine from female winemakers from around the globe.
