The Zonta Club of Warwick held its International Women’s Day breakfast on 8 March at Warwick RSL.
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity, celebrating women’s achievements and raising awareness about women’s equality.
The breakfast featured keynote speaker Deirdre Davis.
The title of Deirdre’s talk was “14,000 dreams on hold”. Deirdre shared her adventures into the less attractive elements plaguing Nepal’s most vulnerable children.
She spoke of her partnership with others across the globe, lending their strength towards the annihilation of child trafficking.
The rescued children, now young women, are working to prevent this cycle from continuing and how they are conquering the mountain of child trafficking through bravery, tenacity, compassion and love.
