International Women's Day celebrations

More than 100 people gathered at the Crocodile Hotel to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8.
The event was organised by the recently formed Ranger Women’s Network and included a speech by ERA Chief Executive Andrea Sutton, and performances by singer/songwriter Shellie Morris and students from the West Arnhem Girls Academy who performed a special dance.
This year the global theme for International Women’s Day was Be Bold for Change so guests were asked to share their commitments on a Bold Action Wall and in turn inspire others.
Proceeds from raffles, a silent auction plus a contribution from event ticket sales were donated to the charity Dawn House Incorporated which provides services to women and children escaping domestic and family violence.

Students from Girls Academy were eager to perform a special dance at the International Women’s Day event in Jabiru.
