Capricornia Celebrates International Women's Day

MP Michelle Landry celebrated International Women’s Day this year by turning the spotlight on all the incredible women of Capricornia.

“I want to recognise the incredible women who make our region what it is.” Michelle said.

“Through all of Capricornia, I see women every day running small businesses, working on the land, caring for their families, leading in our schools and health services, and volunteering in our community groups. You are the backbone of our region.”

Michelle also highlighted the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, Give to Gain, which encourages participants to forge gender equality through abundant giving.

Built on a mindset of generosity and collaboration, Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, the theory goes, opportunities and support for women increase.

“Giving is not a subtraction,” claim the International Women’s Day organisation.

“It's intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise.”
