On Friday 8 March to mark and celebrate International Women’s Day, People with Disability with Australia (PWDA) hosted Leading Change - A Webinar for Women with Disability on Leadership.
Our speakers Dr Michelle Hyde, Marayke Jonkers, Dr Sheelagh Daniels-Mayes, Akii Ngo, Dr Haidi Badawi and Ruth Bonser created a space for women and gender diverse people with lived experience to share their expertise in ‘leading change’.
Leading Change was an initiative of PWDA’s Advancing Women Project which aims to break down the barriers to participation in leadership and decision-making roles, creating access and opportunities for women and gender diverse people with disability who are ready and willing to lead.
PWDA is grateful to everyone who attended the event and all the speakers who contributed.
We also thank Women NSW as part of NSW Government for funding the event and making it possible.
