Shannon is now the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Minister for Women and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence and continues to support the work of Northside Connect.

International
Women’s Day 2021
International Women’s Day was first celebrated in Sydney 1928 on March 25th and was organised by the Militant Women’s Movement of the Communist Party of Australia for equal work, equal pay, and paid leave as well as for an 8 hour working day for female retail workers.
The following year (1929) the event spread to Brisbane. Annual marches started in 1931 in Melbourne and Sydney and are still held today. 1975 was designated as International Women's Year and the Whitlam government supported a series of events throughout the year, including the Women and Politics Conference in September, which considered how women were represented in Australian politics.
From 1975, the United Nations began celebrating International Women’s Day on the 8th of March. Today International Women’s Day is recognised with a diverse range of events, including fundraisers, rallies and marches. Brisbane’s International Women’s Day Breakfast has solid roots within the community and is one of the longest running International Women’s Day celebrations within Australia and was first held in 1990.
This year Northside Connect was invited to the International Women’s Day lunch hosted by our federal MP Anika Well, who was a legal volunteer with our legal service. It was inspirational to also hear from her federal parliamentary colleague, Tanya Plibersek, on how we can continue to strive towards equality and empowerment for women and girls.
