About the Conference

The SSTUWA Women's Conference is an opportunity for members who identify as female within our union to come together. The focus for this conference is based on the United Nations International Women's Day theme, Count Her In. It supports the notion of creating pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. Together we must ensure  women and girls are given equal opportunities to build their capabilities and strengthen their capacity to learn, earn and lead.

Join us at the 2024 Conference to hear from speakers who support this priority. Be inspired and learn from some amazing women throughout the day.   

"ONE WOMAN CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING, MANY WOMEN CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING."
