Celebrate International Women's Day

Te Aho Tāmaka Manawatū Leaders Celebrate International Women’s Day.

I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.

Central Economic Development Agency (CEDA) and Palmerston North Women’s Refuge invite you to join us for an evening of celebration, inspiration and empowerment.

After nibbles and networking, join our accomplished Te Aho Tāmaka Leaders in korerō as they discuss their career journeys and the challenges and opportunities along the way.

Our Leaders are all changemakers in their own fields; Dr.Farah Palmer - former Black Fern Captain and only woman on the NZ Rugby Board, Vanisa Dhiru - NZ National Commission for UNESCO & former President of the National Council of Women NZ, and Linda Jenkinson - global entrepreneur and businesswoman.

Together they will address gender inequality and obstacles that they have faced in their industries; highlight some of the changes they have seen and made during their careers; and discuss how we can collectively tackle the unfinished business of empowering all women and girls in years to come.

All profits from this event will be donated to Palmerston North’s Women’s Refuge.
