ECOTOURISM AUSTRALIA CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY WITH THEIR ALL-FEMALE TEAM
International Women’s Day (IWD) offers all of us a chance to reflect on the progress made for and by women and to recognise the path left to walk towards true global gender equality. UN Women has declared the theme for 2022 is Changing Climates: Equality today for a sustainable tomorrow – a theme that appreciates the contributions of women and girls around the world, who are leading the way in changing the climate of gender inequality and creating a sustainable future. This is of particular importance as women and girls are more vulnerable to climate-related disasters and yet are largely ignored in developing solutions. It is important to recognise that International Women’s Day is a day for celebration and is also a day to call to action.

The team believe an important way for guests to grasp the area’s heritage and cultural significance lies in silence.
