This year's International Women's Day marked the 50th anniversary of the globally recognised celebration, with the theme of 'Investing in Women: Accelerate Progress'. Zonta Club of Metropolitan Dunedin hosted a successful breakfast event at the esteemed Southern Cross Hotel, with special guest speakers – Sara Munro of Company of Strangers, Dr. Margot Skinner of the School of Physiotherapy, and hosted by our very own (and Zonta member) Bex Twemlow.
Zonta International envisions a world where women's rights are recognised as human rights, and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision making on an equal basis with me.
Through strategic fundraising events, Zonta Dunedin provides young women with STEM scholarship opportunities, investing directly in the next generation of women.
We would like to thank Zonta Club of Metropolitan Dunedin for its continued work in supporting young women, and for hosting us on International Women's Day 2024.
