Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day, Half the Sky features some of Australia’s finest artists in a night of acoustic rhythms, sublime folk, outlandish brass and high voltage cabaret. The women’s movement represents one of the most fundamental changes in gender roles in human history. Yet the face of poverty is predominantly female, a global epidemic of violence against women persists and one woman dies in childbirth every minute.
IWDA works to create positive change for women and their communities in Asia and the Pacific. From a Safe House in Cambodia to radio programs in Fiji, our partners implement projects that directly address poverty, discrimination and oppression. www.iwda.org.au
Artists include Clare Bowditch, Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier, Stiff Gins, Sally Dastey of TIDDAS, Lucie Thorne, The Red Brigade and The Town Bikes.
