What International Women’s Day means to Gladstone Women’s Health Centre

Trish Lisle, the CEO of Gladstone Women’s Health Centre reflects on what International Women’s Day means to her.

“International Women’s Day, for me, is about celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, not only in our local communities but also at a National and International level. It’s an important day that allows us to celebrate the achievements of women, advocate for gender parity as well as reminding communities that forging gender parity does not mean the fall of men, and that everyone has a role in contributing. Women provide such significant contributions to society, across various roles and environments that everyone should be embracing equity, and advocating for women to be acknowledged, treated, and entitled to equality across all of life’s domains,” said Ms. Lisle.
