Cr Elizabeth Re Supports International Gynae Awareness Day Event in Perth

by

Councillor Elizabeth Re says, “This is an important issue and the community need to be better educated and to become more aware so that we can get support to where it is needed. When we all speak about these issues openly they become a normal part of our lives and lives will be saved.”

International Gynae Awareness Day is held on 10 September and the event this year in Perth will be at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel, 1:30pm – 4:30pm. There is a fantastic line up of speakers and we are encouraging everyone to get a ticket and come and enjoy all the fun of the high tea.

Canberra All Set To Celebrate IGAD 2011

by

IGAD Canberra

 

It is with great delight that we received information from Margaret Kalms about an event she has organised in Canberra.  Professor Frank Bowden is the special guest speaker.  Professor Bowden is the Professor of Medicine at the ANU Medical School and Director of Canberra Sexual Health Centre.

Margaret has organised a cocktail party where all will be spellbound by Belly Dancers.

There is a photography exhibition featuring Margaret’s artwork and is being hosted by the Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT.

The event starts at 7:30pm – 10:00pm and there is also the exhibition running from 12-23 September and open from 9:00am – 5:00pm.

Margaret explores intimate, personal and sensitive issues in emotional and philosophically symbolic terms.  Her photographs are confronting, dramatic and surprising, but they are also beautiful and are designed to enhance women’s perception of themselves overcoming significant prejudices and taboos.

Margaret’s art is very suitable to promote IGAD fulfilling one of the aims of IGAD.  “To share knowledge and experiences with the community to remove cultural and sexual taboos and build confidence within oneself”.  Margaret Kalms is inspired by the underlying confidences that God created women and that all parts of the body are good.
