Carrie's Place is hosting an inspirational and inclusive International Women's Day brunch on Wednesday, March 6 at Maitland Town Hall, and all are welcome.

Under the theme Empowering changemakers, women and girls, through storytelling, innovation, and technology, the event aims to connect, support, educate, and empower women and girls on crucial issues in the digital age including coercive control and online safety.

It will feature a keynote speech by award-winning author and domestic violence advocate Jas Rawlinson and a powerful presentation by a client with lived experience.

Local artist John Milburn will provide entertainment, and all guests will receive a special gift bag.

Tickets are $80 per person and all funds raised contribute to critical services that keep women and families housed, safe, and free from abuse in the Maitland region.
