Northern Beaches Council has a full house for tomorrow’s International Women’s Day breakfast at Manly Golf Club with attendees looking forward to listening to guest speaker Ms. Josephine Cashman, a Worimi woman from New South Wales and Chair of the Prime Minister’s Indigenous Advisory Committee .

Ms. Cashman is a lawyer, businesswoman and social entrepreneur with more than 18 years’ experience working on projects to create social and economic empowerment within Indigenous communities.

An outspoken advocate for the welfare of abused Indigenous women and children, she recently spoke at a special session on violence against Indigenous women and children at the United Nation's Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Northern Beaches Council Administrator Dick Persson AM who is hosting the breakfast is inviting all of the community to celebrate International Women’s Day.

“Putting women and women’s rights on the global agenda is the moving force behind International Women’s Day, so I’m delighted Northern Beaches Council will continue to host this popular event.”

Proceeds from the International Women’s Day Breakfast will be donated to the Big River Impact Foundation established to build houses and promote positive social values in remote communities.
