On Monday 4 March, Macarthur Square’s Kellicar Lane was filled with the men and women of Macarthur Square, standing together as equals doing the ‘hands out pose’ for the International Women’s Day initiative #balanceforbetter campaign. A selection of retailers, centre management, security and cleaning staff gathered together to create a photo moment that would kick off the celebrations surrounding International Women’s Day in the centre.
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world on the 8th of March and is a day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women and to reflect on how far we have come and how far we still have to go to truly achieve gender equality. The Macarthur Square initiative aims to make a difference for the women of the Macarthur community, determined to build a gender-balanced world.
