These lectures are a partnership between four women's groups: absolutely
women's health (Royal Women's Hospital), International Women's Development
Agency, YWCA and the Victorian Women's Trust. In organising these lectures,
we bring together women from all walks of life to contribute to public
debate on issues of concern, and to affirm partnership and solidarity
between women's organisations. Over the past four years this event has
attracted over 1,800 women and is now considered Melbourne's major
International Women's Day celebration.
