Celebrating Queensland Women’s Week and International Women’s Day

February 29, 2024 - 8:25am

OIC is marking Queensland Women’s Week from 3 to 10 March, including International Women’s Day on 8 March.

Our agency is proud to support this year’s theme ‘Count Her In’, which aligns with the UN Women International Women’s Day theme, highlighting the critical importance of women’s economic empowerment as central to realising women’s rights and gender equality.

As a community when we ‘Count Her In’, we ensure women and girls are given equal opportunity to build their capabilities and strengthen their capacity to learn, earn and lead.

OIC is proud to acknowledge that since its inception, our agency has had a majority of women in key leadership positions.

OIC will be marking these significant celebrations with messages to staff and on our social media platforms, as well as sharing opportunities to participate in UN keynote speaker events.

Our agency encourages everyone to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness about discrimination and take action to drive gender parity.
