International Women’s Day Film Screening- Warrnambool and Barwon

The theme for International’s Women’s Day 2025 is March Forward, which emphasises progress is not just about reflection, but making decisive bold steps to turn out commitments into action for gender equality. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation as catalysts for lasting change, but we all have responsibility and have a role to enable change.

To celebrate this theme, Women's Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West will be hosting a screening of Equal the Contest followed by a brief Q&A, in both Warrnambool and Airey's Inlet. The documentary follows the story of a filmmaker who joins a new local women’s footy club in Regional Victoria with a simple desire to play, that becomes a complex journey of inclusion and belonging. It challenges long-standing sports traditions and becomes part of the broader movement for gender equality.
