Women’s Health In the North (WHIN) will be holding their International Women’s Day event, Climate Change and Women – A Conversation, on Saturday 13 March
If you want to know more about climate change and how climate change impacts differently on men and women, join us for an afternoon that will move and inspire you.
Kathleen Maltzahn, Executive Director of WHIN, will get the conversation started by sharing highlights of her time at the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. Kathleen will be followed by the Brunswick Women’s Theatre who will perform for the very first time, a short scene that powerfully evokes the effects of climate change on women even when they live in wealthy countries like Australia.
We are also very excited to announce that WHIN will have a live video-link to Dr Julie Drolet from Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, to find out about her research into climate change, disaster and sustainable development.
Julie will be followed by a panel of guest speakers, including Jess Fritze from Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS), who will hold conversations that prompt us to think about different aspects of climate change. Of course, there’ll also be lots of time for questions from the audience.
