WHY WE CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL RURAL WOMEN’S DAY
The Riverine Plains Ladies Lunch is a special occasion where we gather to celebrate International Rural Women’s Day and honour the vital role that women play in our rural communities.
It's an opportunity for us to come together and reflect on the positive influence and contributions of women in agriculture and regional areas.
The day has a focus on sharing career journeys and life lessons, highlighting the diverse and impactful roles that women play in local businesses, farming, and community development. Our goal is to shine a light on the often overlooked, yet vital contributions that women make to rural life every day.
This event is about more than enjoying a delicious meal and good conversation; it's about recognising and honouring the resilience, creativity, and dedication of women in our communities.
In addition to celebrating, we aim to inspire. Through engaging talks from inspirational speakers, we hope to ignite a sense of possibility and encourage attendees to consider their next challenge or 'what's possible' moment.
The Riverine Plains Ladies Lunch aims to be a day of celebration, reflection, and inspiration as we come together to recognise and appreciate the remarkable contributions of rural women.
