SCEGGS International Women’s Day Run
This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is #InspireInclusion.
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion.
Come and celebrate women athletes and applaud when equality is achieved in pay, sponsorship, and visibility. Visit the website here.
Please join us in our annual SCEGGS International Women’s Day Run. Students, parents/carers, dogs ALL welcome as we run through the streets of Darlinghurst and Woolloomooloo down to the Botanical gardens.
International Women’s Day belongs to everyone, everywhere. The day marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
Let’s step forward in solidarity and collectively, let’s #InspireInclusion for women and girls everywhere.
