Moreton Bay Regional Libraries are running a Women’s Day Event on Tuesday 8 March 2022.<\/p>\n
This year’s theme calls on us to imagine a gender\u2013equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.<\/p>\n
Join us as we celebrate inspiring women in our community with a panel discussion led by Madonna King. Together we\u2019ll explore what the 2022 theme #BreakTheBias<\/strong> means to them.
