About

Held annually by Darebin City Council for over ten years, the Social Justice Oration is a tribute to Darebin resident Molly Hadfield OAM, who worked tirelessly to advance women’s and seniors rights.

This year’s oration is a partnership between FUSE, Darebin’s Equity and Wellbeing team and the Wheeler Centre. Held in celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2023, with the theme of #EmbraceEquity, the 2023 Oration celebrates shared resilience, reflection and commitment to justice through topical conversation and artistic performance.

The evening’s line-up includes artists and performers from the local multicultural, multidisciplinary arts community, as well as keynote speaker, Namila Benson, and our first teen orator, Zuva Goverwa.
