International Women’s Day 2020- #generationequality
With more than 42% of young people in our programs being young women we are serious about making the programs as empowering as we can. Today is the UN observance of International Women’s Day to promote women’s rights and gender equality taking centre stage in 2020. We are striving to make Charity Bounce a place where women at every level are empowered and provided every opportunity to succeed and thrive, from our staff to our coaches, to the young people, and all our partners.
With a focus on our women’s programs in 2019 and 2020 we are excited about whats ahead and playing our part to support this year’s theme for International Women’s Day (8 March), which is, “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”. Small actions can have big impacts in making this vision a reality and on International Women’s Day, we ask everyone to join #GenerationEquality and become part of the solution.

Charity Bounce is a not for profit organization that exists to inspire positive change to overcome disadvantage for individuals and communities. With a focus on Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders and Culturally Diverse communities, including newly arrived refugees we aim to move people toward a more positive future through the development of sports, the arts, health, education and employment focused social programs. The programs are delivered in partnership with professional athletes to motivate change and inspire.
