Ms VAGHELA (Western Metropolitan): Last week we celebrated two very important days: World Mental Health Day on 10 October and the International Day of the Girl Child on 11 October. In my constituency of Western Metropolitan Region there are many community organisations working for women’s equality, women’s rights and mental health. Women of Wyndham, WOW, is one such community organisation which has been working for the wellbeing and empowerment of women in my constituency, by supporting and empowering women at multiple levels. Through their consistent efforts they are bringing a positive change to the lives of many women within diverse communities so that these women can be self-reliant, confident and successful in their own lives. Last week I had the opportunity of attending WOW’s online event to celebrate their five-year anniversary. I would like to thank Ms Monica Raizada and the entire WOW team for their great work.
