Bel and Sarah had a MASSIVE morning on Get Cereal celebrating all things women on International Women’s Day.  The girls talked to five amazing women about their careers and plans for IWD and played a ripper all female playlist!

The CEO of the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, Jo Porter, spoke with Bel and Sarah about the wide range of support and events that the QVWC offers.

For more information about the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre and their IWD events, head to their website.

Bel and Sarah also spoke to Melbourne photographer and artist Suzanne Phoenix and Musician Rosie Lane about Suzanne’s project ‘What Does IWD Mean to Me?’. Rosie is one of many inspiring women to be featured in the lineup this year, and we were lucky enough to be treated to a live studio performance by her!

The photography exhibition will be pasted up as street art in Melbourne so be sure to check it out!

Jodi is another inspirational woman that the Friday team spoke with. Jodi is a Women’s Safety & Rights Campaign Organiser who will be helping to lead the IWD 2019 Rally and March from the State Library to the steps of Parliament.

The rally starts at 5:30pm in the city and for more information head over to the event page.

The girls also had a chat with Rena Ou Yang. Rena is the CEO of the organisation Empowered Together NGO ‘whose mission is to educate the community on sexual assault and consent laws, and open conversation to remove the stigma associated with sexual assault.
