Happy International Women's Day 👏 For International Women's Day and beyond. This year's theme is #EmbraceEquity. Equity isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society's DNA.

Perfect end to #IWD2023 with these wonderful women. Yarra Valley HC #hockeymakesmehappy
