PARRAMATTA JOINS WOMEN’S WEEK
Celebrating girls in STEM ARRAMATTA will host Children’s Medical Research Institute Celebrates Women and Girls in STEM, one of 24 events taking place across the State that will promote and support women’s education, employment and wellbeing during the upcoming NSW Women’s Week. Member for Parramatta Dr Geoff Lee said the NSW Government is providing $5,000 to help deliver Children’s Medical Research Institute Celebrates Women and Girls in STEM. “This event will mark Women’s Week with a series of inspiring seminars that celebrate the achievements of women in STEM/medical research and provide information on how girls/women can embark on such careers” Dr Lee said. “The 2022 NSW Women’s Week is set to be the biggest ever with the schedule of events across NSW reflecting both the creativity and diversity of NSW women.” NSW Women’s Week runs from Monday, March 7 to Sunday, March 13, and promotes gender equality while celebrating the social, cultural and political achievements of women. Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said we are bringing women together to celebrate and inspire one another. “This week will deliver a wide range of practical supports that will benefit women right across our fabulous State,” Mrs Taylor said. “There is something for women of all ages and backgrounds, and I encourage each and every one of you to find out what is happening in your local community this NSW Women’s Week.” The NSW Women’s Week Grants program provided $3,000 to $5,000 grants to events that support at least one of the key priorities of the NSW Women’s Strategy 2018- 2022.
