2025 International Women’s Day March

Join us to march together on International Women’s Day for safety, equality and respect, in our workplaces, communities and families.

IWD is a day for working women and all who fight for justice and equality. Come and say hi to the Working Women’s Centre crew at the march!

On Saturday 8th March we’ll ‘March Forward’ starting at Tarntanyangga (Victoria Square – North End) at 10:30am.

The Welcome to Country will be by Aunty Elaine Magias, a proud Kaurna & Narungga woman and inspiring educator. We’ll then hear from the following speakers:

• Janet Giles who was the first women to hold the position of Secretary at SA Unions, and is a proud unionist, feminist, community activist and internationalist.
• Zoe Keys who is a member of SA Abortion Action Coalition, a lecturer, a branch committee member of the Flinders NTEU, a PhD student and a parent.
• Khatija Thomas who is a proud Kokatha woman. Khatija is the Vice-President (Women) of the Australian Services Union. She is an activist and lawyer, who uses the law to create social change.

As we go marching, marching … we’ll march together north to the mall and then to Mukata (Hindmarsh Square) and close the march.

Come and say hello to the Working Women’s Centre crew (look for our t-shirts). We’ve got some shiny new badges to distribute with the message ‘Our silence is not for sale’.

We’re calling for law reform to end the misuse of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), so people can tell their story, on their terms. We can make workplaces safer by making sure workers aren’t forced to sign NDAs when they make a complaint about sexual harassment they’ve experienced.

The ‘Our silence is not for sale’ artwork is by artist Nicky Minus. You can check out her amazing work at the Gallery 3 Workers Art Collective.
