The Greek Democritus Workers League is set to recognise International Women’s Day in a significant event that also coincides with the organisation’s 90th anniversary.
“Democritus” will host their event on Saturday, 15 March at 2.30pm, at its location in Northcote, highlighting the ongoing struggle of all women for equality, justice, and social progress.
The event will honour all the women who have led the charge in labour and social movements, featuring speeches to further highlight the significance of women’s activism and its lasting impact.
Among the speakers will be Yiota Paraskevopoulos (OHS organiser and trainer at the Victorian Ambulance Union, former OHS officer at the Australian Nurses and Midwives Federation), and Renata Musolino (Secretary of the Federation of Italian Migrant workers and families).
The organisation stressed the importance of putting a focus on the ways women have contributed to the fight for labour rights, social justice and human dignity, inviting all to attend the event and celebrate them.
