Network for gender equality
Dr Niki Vincent, Victoria’s Public Sector Gender Equality Commissioner, will launch the Empowering Women 50/50 x 2025 Network at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre on February 24.

The event is from 5pm to 7pm. Bookings are essential via the library website and double vaccination status is required for attendees.
