Breakthrough Summit
Our vision for Asia Pacific
Breakthrough is that it will catalyse a new movement of collective action and
investment for women and girls in the Asia Pacific Region. We are focusing
our efforts on the support of women in the Pacific, South East Asia,
Indigenous women and refugee women of Australia and New Zealand. Highlights of the Summit will
include the announcements of new Commitments to programs for women and girls,
an interfaith ceremonial celebration, the launch of the Asia Pacific Women,
Faith and Development Alliance, and a Leadership Council meeting for the
Alliance. In addition to the delegates program, there there will be a free
public event in Federation Square from 5.30pm on Wednesday 2 December |
