A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN'S VOICES

Half The Sky is both social movement and joyful celebration of women. Throughout the year we hold events - think ins, workshops, seminars - culminating in an annual gathering of women which celebrates our achievements in conversation, debate, music, performance and art.

Stories are at the heart of the gatherings: stories told in community events, stories developed in workshops and featured in parades and performances, stories told with music, art, food and in conversation. By telling our stories, by listening and sharing experiences, we expand our communities, build connections, grow our imaginations, and discover social courage and creativity.

I'm not a feminist but...

It is fantastic how the word ‘feminist’ has brushed itself off, lost some of its stigma and is striding around again in the modern world, particularly with young people. Everywhere women are again asking "when is gender equality going to happen?"

We look around us and see that when women act, when they lead, they bring transformative change to entire communities and the world at large. And now billions of people across the globe are speaking up, taking a stand and making big and small actions to advance women’s rights. Recently, across Australia, female voters and community candidates rose up and sent a clear message about what is important to us and our families: the climate, integrity in public life and gender equality for all women.

In creating our events Half The Sky recognises and loudly celebrates the ordinary and extraordinary achievements of women, joining the movement across Australia and the world. And we invite you to join us:
