Women empowering women

To mark International Women’s Day, St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman collaborated with the Brimbank senior citizens friendly group to host a vibrant event celebrating the occasion.

Held at the St Albans Community Centre, the event brought together more than 200 women from diverse cultural backgrounds, uniting to commemorate the achievements and resilience of women.

Guests were treated to cultural dance performances and distinguished guests, including Premier Jacinta Allan, Minister Ingrid Stitt, and Fraser MP Dr Daniel Mulino.

Amidst the celebrations, Natalie Suleyman seized the opportunity to announce the launch of a new women’s group, Multicultural Women of the West. This platform aims to bring together representatives from diverse communities to foster mutual support and empowerment, addressing the challenges and opportunities encountered by multicultural women in Melbourne’s west.

The event encapsulated the spirit of International Women’s Day, emphasising unity, empowerment, and the celebration of diversity within the community.
