CEW Celebrates International Women’s Day #CountHerIn
Women’s economic empowerment is crucial for achieving gender equality and promoting overall community development and the health of the Australian economy. Australia currently underutilises over 50% of the population, leaving up to $128B of economic growth on the table. When women are provided with equal opportunities to access education, participate in the workforce, and take on leadership roles, it not only benefits them individually but also has a ripple effect on society as a whole.
Join us to #CountHerIn to accelerate our progress to a gender balanced and equitable workforce and economy.
