International Women's Day

“We will challenge stereotypes and bias.”

 

Today is International Women’s Day, and Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria salutes the women who contribute so much to VFBV, CFA, our Emergency Services and their communities.

 

The theme of International Women’s Day this year is “More Powerful Together” – that’s absolutely true for all our CFA members, whether they are on the front line as firefighters or providing the invaluable coordination behind the scenes. 

 

With more than 11,800 women CFA volunteers – we have plenty to celebrate. To all of the fabulous, dedicated, highly skilled and much appreciated women in the CFA and across the fire services: thank you for today and every day.

 

Let’s challenge bias and encourage more women as members - and as leaders. Together, we can make a difference.
