THE City of Bayswater is honouring International Women’s Day with a packed schedule of events designed to empower women, promote wellbeing, and foster community connections. 

From March 5-7, residents are invited to participate in free activities celebrating women’s health, leadership, and resilience.

Mayor Filomena Piffaretti said the City was proud to host events that supported women across all stages of life.

“All community members are welcome to join us for our International Women’s Day celebrations. It’s an opportunity to boost physical and mental health, build new skills, and connect with others,” Ms Piffaretti said.

A standout event is Women’s Impact at the City’s Civic Centre on Friday March 7 from 2– 3.30pm. 

Representatives from crisis accommodation provider Orana House will share insights into their vital work supporting individuals facing family and domestic violence. 

Support

Attendees can assemble self-care packs, write messages of support for survivors, and are encouraged to donate $25 or $50 Visa or Eftpos gift cards to be included in the packs.

“This is a chance to come together, hear inspiring stories, and make a tangible difference for women in our community,” Ms Piffaretti said.
