#BreakTheBias this NSW Women's Week

7 March 2022

Minister for Women Bronnie Taylor said this year’s theme is #BreakTheBias, with the focus on empowering women to forge their own path.

“The 2022 NSW Women’s Week is a celebration of women, both young and old. We have so many incredible women and girls who call NSW home, and this week we are putting their achievements in the spotlight,” Mrs Taylor said.

“This Women’s Week is also about empowering women and girls to make their own decisions, to move forward with confidence and know they can proactively create the future they want.

“We know that when the status of women is advanced, everyone benefits.”

The 2022 NSW Women’s Week is set to be the biggest ever, with events including the inaugural NSW Women’s Health Expo, the One to Watch Award, financial literacy workshop for young girls, and a networking event for rural and regional women.

In addition, there will be a number of events taking place across the State, with the NSW Government providing $100,000 to 24 organisations to host events during NSW Women’s Week.

These events include career guidance for young women, a wellbeing day for expectant women from culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Western Sydney and an event celebrating and promoting female participation in AFL.

NSW Women’s Week runs from Monday, 7 March to Sunday, 13 March. International Women’s Day is on 8 March and the NSW Women of the Year Awards are announced on 9 March.

The NSW Government is committed to supporting women’s economic opportunities, health and wellbeing and participation and empowerment.
