Last year I photographed the Leichhardt Council’s International Women’s Day celebrations – this year I was lucky enough to be invited back to capture this years celebrations!
International Women’s Day is marked each year on March 8 and is about recognising and celebrating the achievements and battles of women all over the world. Leichhardt Council invited local women to join the global celebration with a ‘Twilight Supper’ in Pioneers Memorial Park.
The evening was hosted by Julie McCrossin who led a panel discussion with local leaders – Angela Catterns, Alex Blackwell, Jodie Stewart and Laura Jackson. Local leaders Leichhardt Mayor Rochelle Porteous, The Honorable Jamie Parker – Member for Balmain, Labor candidate Verity Firth, Councilor Vera-Ann Hannaford, Councilor Linda Kelly and local Aboriginal elder Deborah Lennis were also in attendance.
Here is what I captured.
Peace, Meredith
