International Women's Day 2024

 
The theme of International Women's Day 2024 is 'Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.'. 'Count Her In' examines the pathways to greater economic inclusion for women and girls everywhere. 
 
By showcasing the work of some of AOA’s skilled, passionate, and determined female members, we hope to continue providing great role models for future generations of Australia’s medical workforce and support gender representation in orthopaedics.
