Today is International Women’s Day!

We’re taking this moment to honour the strength, resilience and excellence of deadly women across Taungurung community. Our women carry culture, guide our young ones, protect Country and hold stories that keep us grounded. Their work, both seen and unseen, shapes our communities.

Today we also recognise the achievements of women around the world who stand strong, lift others up and create change in every space they walk into.

To all the deadly women in our community and beyond: we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you.

Happy International Women’s Day!
