Recently, we have had an explosion of SIL/ILO service providers set up locally. Our disability community and networks don't know who they
are and what they are offering. So GNS/GWHCC are offering an afternoon of service provider presentations as a way to introduce themselves to
the community.
Service Providers are given 10 minutes ONLY to present their organisation and services - 5 minutes to describe their organisation, the
features and benefits of using their service. What makes them stand out. The next 5 minutes they will be answering 3 questions.
Audience members will have an opportunity to speak to service providers, and collect more information after all the presentations are
complete and during afternoon tea.
We already have a confirmed list of 9 presenters in this first round. A mix of old & very new service providers.We hope to host a 2nd
round of SIL/ILO Service Providers at the end of February 2025 in the evening. And extend the next round to Community Access Services,
Support Coordination Services or Allied Health Providers.
We would love you to join us and learn who are here in our community ready to provide services.
Places are limited to 50, so please confirm by registering via the link below.

Under the Headframe
This powerful installation has been created with shoes donated by the community and painted red through a series of workshops across the
Goldfields. Each pair of painted shoes, placed one body length apart, will represent the life of a woman murdered in Australia by a
current or former partner.
The Museum and the GWHCC have been working with Dr Paola Magni-Partridge, the Australian Ambassador for the Red Shoes Project https://www.redshoesaustralia.com.au/
to bring the project to the Goldfields, the first held regionally of its kind and will be one of the guest speakers.
The Red Shoes project was started by architect and visual artist Elina Chauvet, born in Casa Grandes Chihuahua - one of the most dangerous
cities in Mexico. She first put together Los Zaptos Rojos Instalacion de Arte Publico in Ciudad Juarez in 2009 with 33 pairs of shoes
donated by the community when her 32-year-old sister was murdered by her husband.

ME TOO: YEAR TWO
Emily
Steel, Sohaila Abdulali, Tina Tchen hosted by Lenore Taylor
A decade since the Me Too campaign
began, and a year since #metoo rocked the entertainment industry, there has
been a clear cultural shift. Across industries, women who were preyed upon,
exploited and harassed have spoken out and sought justice, and the movement has
gone global.
But it hasn’t all happened
smoothly. Louis CK returned to the comedy stage. The Senate confirmed Brett
Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Now that accountability frameworks have been
put in place, are the structures of justice and legal systems changing? Have we
seen a fundamental shift in the way power functions, or is it temporary and
superficial? How is #metoo playing out in different countries and cultures?
In this essential panel, we’ll be
exploring how the movement must evolve to represent women worldwide, and to
create long-lasting cultural and political change.
FEMINISM IN THE ARAB WORLD
Aya
Chebbi, Dima Matta, Randa Abdel Fattah hosted by Sarah Saleh
In a global feminist movement, our
understanding of women’s rights needs to go far beyond the English-speaking
world.
Arab women are so often
pigeonholed, orientalised and othered in western discussions about feminism.
But the reality is there are strong feminist and LGBTQI movements across the
Arab world. This panel, co curated by artist, poet and activist Sara Saleh,
challenges the assumptions so frequently made by westerners, that Arab women
are subjugated and oppressed, by giving space for some of the loudest activist
voices across the middle east.
This session will demonstrate that
discussions about women in the Arab world can go much deeper than “why do you
wear hijab?”, and explore the issues and concerns, both political and personal,
for Arab women and LGBTQI people.
LEADING WHILE FEMALE
Julie
banks, Julie bishop, Linda Burney, Sarah Hanson-Young hosted
by Jacqueline Maley
While some of our most popular
politicians are women, they are still frequently overlooked for leadership
positions, are subjected to personal scrutiny to a level not inflicted on their
male colleagues, and they cop all sorts of sexist garbage while just trying to
do their jobs. Yet women have a huge amount to contribute to public life, and
our society would benefit from greater female representation in parliament. So
what needs to change to make more women want to run for public office in
Australia? Join this frank discussion about the pitfalls and rewards of working
in the sector, and how we can shift the culture so girls who want to grow up to
be PM are inspired, not discouraged.
WE HAVE REACHED CAPACITY FOR THIS FABULOUS EVENT. THANKYOU TO THE WOMEN OF THE GOLDFIELDS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
International Women’s Day is an important time for us all to come together to celebrate our achievements and continue to drive change to
create a better, more equal world.
