Our key activity was in Canberra
(the nation's capital) on Monday, June 27th where an all-day Women’s
Expo was held in the Exhibition Room of our Legislative Assembly
building. Ms Katy Gallagher, the Minister for Women accepted the
Charter on behalf of the women of Australia
and other parliamentary dignitaries was present. The Expo featured
music, banners, brochures and display materials from across women’s and
community services – we have asked that they reflect the five values
underpinning the Charter. We were arranging to have some photos taken
in Washington and New York at the WMW 2000 enlarged as part of the display as we wanted to share the spirit of the women who gathered there.
On Tuesday evening, June 28th, a representative flew out of Sydney to deliver the Charter to the dear women in Japan. She will join them for a solidarity meeting in Tokyo.
