The Office for Women is encouraging celebrations across the state to commemorate International Women’s Day (IWD) in Queensland. The Queensland Government’s theme for IWD 2007 is Women at work: Know your right’s, it’s your future.
This theme encourages women to be proactive in gaining knowledge about their workplace rights, protecting fair standards and practices and improving the status of women in the workplace. It reflects the history of the women’s movement and the origins of IWD, drawing a connection between the historical struggle for workplace equity and rights for women and the current status of women in the workforce.
