Today is International Day of Rural Women🌾💪

Rural Women's Network (RWN), is a statewide initiative by Women NSW. The RWN has been connecting and empowering women in regional, rural, and remote communities across NSW for over 30 years.

The RWN is a trusted voice, linking women to vital services, celebrating achievements, and creating opportunities for growth, resilience, and connection.

This year’s theme, “Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All” honours the essential role rural women and girls play in feeding families, communities, and the world.

From farming to food distribution, their work sustains us all, yet many still face unequal pay, food insecurity, and limited decision-making power.

Let’s celebrate their leadership in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience.
