Females from all over the world have been coming together
and celebrating International Women’s Day for 102 years.
2013’s International Women’s Day ceremony for Townsville was
held at Jupiters Casino early in the morning. Many invited women from different
work companies and high schools gathered for breakfast to celebrate being
female and also raising awareness for 2013’s chosen theme, ending violence
against women.
As a “to be” journalist , I was thrilled to have the
opportunity to be invited to this event because of the famous, award winning,
foreign correspondent, ABC journalist Sally Sara was giving a speech. Other female
presenters were; the first female Townsville mayor, Jenny Hill and year 12
Pimlico student Rebecca Stennett. Also there were three videos shown of Quinton
Bryce, Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott sharing their wishes towards the female
population. The presentation did not go
for long but being in the atmosphere of many sophisticated, successful women,
made me feel proud to be female.
