SA Women's Week
SA Women’s Week is a statewide initiative to elevate the status of women and girls and create meaningful conversation, reflection and action on gender equality.
Between 1 and 8 March 2026, events will be held across South Australia to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women and girls, to spark dialogue, but most importantly to inspire everyone to take action to advance gender equality in our state.
SA Women’s Week supports this year’s UN Women International Women’s Day theme, Balance the Scales, which calls for fair, inclusive justice and freedom for all women and girls. Balancing the Scales is about making sure that every woman and girl is safe, heard and free to shape their own future.
Through events, conversations, and advocacy, SA Women’s Week helps challenge inequality, promote respect, and support a safer, more equal future for everyone.
