International Women's Day event, AIATSIS Stanner Room,
Wednesday 10 March, 4.45pm

Leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous women will be celebrating International Women's Day in an event in the AIATSIS Stanner Room, Wednesday 10 March, 4.45 to 7pm. Titled Honouring Indigenous Women, the event will also proudly pay tribute to the fifty Indigenous women who will be travelling to Canberra from across Australia to attend Oxfam Australia's 2010 Straight Talk Summit.

Straight Talk 2010 is attended by women who represent the strength and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Over a period of four days these women are given the opportunity to develop their understanding of the Australian political system and to build relationships with women in Federal Parliament.
