As International Women’s Day approaches, the Food for Thought network has announced it will be hosting an exciting luncheon event.

Presented in partnership with Manningham City Council, the event promises to be an afternoon of inspirational dialogue involving a number of remarkable women.

This year’s keynote speaker will be president of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Emeritus Professor Gillian Triggs.

Having taken up her appointment in 2012, Professor Triggs has combined an academic career with international commercial legal practice and worked with governments and international organisations on human rights law.

Thus far, her presidency has been focused on the implementation of the human rights treaties in Australian law, along with reaching out to the Asia Pacific region regarding practical approaches to human rights.

Further details regarding the luncheon program will be released by the network at a later date.

The International Women’s Day Luncheon ‘Women Inspiring Women’ will be taking place on Sunday 6 March at Manningham Function Centre, 699 Doncaster Road, Doncaster, VIC from 11.30 am-3.30 pm.
