Events for International Women’s Day are held around the world each year to celebrate women’s achievements they make to their community.

Mayor Bobby Bourke said the events celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

“The significance of International Women's Day is increasing each year as is the respect, appreciation and care for women in our community and society,” he said.
