Acknowledgement Of Country

We respect First Nations peoples and their enduring connection to country – to the land, air, waterways, oceans, animals and plants – and recognise the wisdom and culture that has seen them thrive for thousands of years. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded, and, with humility and courage, wholeheartedly commit heads, hearts and hands to a path of healing, restitution and justice, embracing the wisdom of those who can guide us. We will fulfil our responsibility with honesty and integrity, we will challenge injustice, and - in all of this - we will hold ourselves accountable.

International Women’s Day Film Screening- Warrnambool and Barwon

Event date: March 06, 2025

Events

The theme for International 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 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.
