Jo Palmer, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family Violence

To gear up for International Women’s Day on 8 March, the Tasmanian Government has provided small grants to support events across Tasmania.

Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family Violence, Jo Palmer, said International Women’s Day is a major day of global celebration for the economic, leadership, political and social achievements of women.

“The International Women’s Day Small Grants Program supports not-for-profit organisations from across Tasmania to host an event to commemorate International Women’s Day,” Minister Palmer said.

“These events will help foster connection and celebrate the valuable contribution of Tasmania’s women.

“An important part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future is to support our communities, and I’d like to congratulate the successful recipients of the grants.”
