Nominations - WA Women's Hall of Fame

Locally, the centrepiece of IWD 2012 will be the continuation of the WA Women's Hall of Fame.

This unique awards program will be dedicated to our unsung heroines from all walks of life, from all over our State.

Inductees to WA Women's Hall of Fame will be a mix of prominent contributors, past and present, living and no longer with us, young and old, high-profile and little known.

The 2012 WA Hall of Fame inductees will be selected for distinction in one of the following five categories.

  1. Expanding women's voice, leadership and participation
  2. Ending violence against women
  3. Strengthening women's peace and security
  4. Enhancing women's economic empowerment
  5. Promoting gender equality
